missing sulcata home after missing for 4 days

[Scottmay69]

I have a 4 and a half year old 20 pound sulcata that escaped his enclosure 4 days ago. We just found him tonight. I live in Ohio. It has been in the high 40's at night and it rained last night. Daytime temps are in the 70's. He was very cold when we found him. I gave him a soak in warm water. He drank A LOT of water. He seems to be wore out. I am reaching out to the group to see if there is anything I can do for him, or that I need to watch for. He is in his winter enclosure now inside which is completely climate and humidity controlled. Any information is appreciated. thanks. scott

Yay, glad you found him. Just keep an eye on him. Look for discharge from eyes, nose, mouth. Any kind of unusual noises. Won't eat.
Keep the temp day and night 85. Basking area 95-100.

Mine (1.5yr 15lb sulcata) took a vacation for a week and the first night it was in the low 50's. Not good. Second day was rainy. After being back for about a week had a RI (elevated heat in the high 80's, low 90's) and is taking medication and shots for it. Doing much better than last week. Really lucky to have a reptile vet that works for the Hershey Park zoo within 30 min.

Good reptile vets are always worth the drive!
