Hey guys,
I just got a new blotched blue tongue from a 13year who lost interest in it. I went over saw his tank. I hate when kids like us get mislead on how to keep reptiles. He had been keeping him in a glass enclosure with only a hot rock for heating for about 5 years so I'm surprised that it survived. I'm not going to mention the name off the pet shop, but my 5 year old blue tongues were kept the same way and got pneumonia because i was wrongly informed by this pet shop(I was 8 at the time), just like this guy. Getting back to the subject, the blotchie last night had a large amount of mucus stringing from his mouth. Has anyone experienced this before? I'm praying he didn't get pneumonia like mine.
Thanks, Simon.
P.S He is in a heated wooden tank now, don't worry.
