this is the words I said to my wife a few minutes ago. I am stumped on this one. heres the whole thing...
I have a 5 year old red tegu. full grown male. he hasnt really eaten in almost a month. in the past month I have attempted to feed him a dozen times. so far he has only actually eaten 1 small rat. he has eaten and then thrown back up several dishes of turkey, tilapia, fruit and other things I have tried. and when he brings this stuff back up, it is HORRIBLE. I am not one to get queasy very easily, but the smell is simply overpowering. knock your head back and want to vomit overpowering.
he otherwise seems healthy and active. he still drinks from his bowl, he still roams around like normal when we take him out. he just wont eat. at his fattest he was around 9.5 pounds. I would say he is easily down to maybe 7 now and is starting to look skinny. I dont know what to do.
