So Jason, are you saying that a clean enclosure will eliminate the risk altogether, or just minimise it? Are there any other preventative measures we can take?
Also, what are the symptoms to keep an eye out for re Septicemia, prior to the lizard reaching the point of no return, as happened with Tony?
This thread has made me realise that this could happen to anyone's beardy by the sounds of it, regardless of size and health, with little to no warning. As Brett said earlier, Tony was a bit lethargic for a few days, but that is not uncommon prior to a shed, and I have observed this behaviour in my own dragons. Is a regular general check-up at the vet going notice any blood issues?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm just a bit worried for all the other lizards / lizard keepers out there! I hate seeing threads as sad as this one...
Cheers,
Nic
