So, when buying your Blue Tongue Lizard,
you always want to make sure that he’s quite healthy,
you want to see him first.
If he’s a juvenile well you might not be able to pick up on
too many issues because it is young and quite healthy already.
If it’s an adult you just want to check that he’s quite alert
for his surroundings, that his eyes aren’t watery
or his mouth isn’t watery or have any mucus.
You want to make sure that he does have all his feet and toes.
They do have problems with shedding or sloughing the skin
which unfortunately can lead to losing the limbs or the toes.
You just want to make sure that his tail isn’t too fat,
but he needs to have a little bit of a fat stored there
or he might be too skinny.
You don’t want to be seeing the bones running down
the back of his tail.
That indicates a healthy animal.
If there is too many bones showing he might be underfed
and under nourished.
Just those small tips and also buying from a reputable buyer
indicates that you’re going to buy a healthy animal.
