he shed very poorly when we first got him but now some of his skin just looks dark like it was gonna shed then stopped. we've tried soaking him and spraying him everyday. also he wasnt well when we first got him and we're not convinced he was terribly well looked after before he was given to us.his motabolism was really slow so we took him to the vet who gave him a glucose and electrolites injection and he perked up alot after that. hes got a fogger for humidity and eats healthy and is active. any ideas?
My water dragon hasnt shed in months, whats wrong?
Probably nothing. You could try increasing the humidity, but water dragons may only shed once a year.
Reply:When he starts growing again he will shed.Sometimes they only shed every 2-3 years.Don't worry
Reply:calcium levels, lighting, state you live in? abstract your using for bedding? are u using sun bulbs and night bulbs? out door temp ? if cold outside move to interior wall.. when skin pulled gently from body does it retract or stay pinched looking? hydration?! again lighting? worth the investment while treating health issues. abstract? eco-earth....... great for reptiles, cost effective, easy to clean, resistant to pest, etc. available at many pet stores(looks like brick).... diet? proteins, calcium's, fresh greens,fruits, how big? crickets? mice? check food source for contamination or pests,.. clean water daily no soaps, light bleach rinse well then rinse cold, ceramic dishes? best and can get at feed store or local goodwill,,,, look for cracks or damage as bacteria can live in areas such as these...... given to you? just dragon or equip. too? possible brought it with him and can't get rid of cause living in it. there is a very effective spray out that helps restore skin. also your weather permitting outdoor venture? amazing what a walk and fresh air will do... when last time eat? check feces for signs of stress,,,, only visible if you know what normal looks like. sugar and electrolites, why? did he say what purpose? hard to say..... did he do any test or you recall exam proceedure? last visit to vet for this reason? if so may want to recontact and infrom sugar and elect. didn't work... perhaps needs antibotic and vitiamins injections for week to ten days... vet should be able to show injection site and whatnot.how long after sugar and elec. before given reason for additional concerns?
