I noticed a few days ago it developed a lump on its side. The nearest reptile vet is 2 hours away and I was going to make an appointment, but I think it was too late anyway.
This morning it was out before the light was on, which is unusual. It then began to act like it was vomiting and I saw some blood on its mouth. A couple hours later, it died with its mouth open, apparently suffocating on blood. It had lumps all over its abdomen by then.
Any idea what could have caused this? It was hard seeing it suffer during its final moments of life. It sort of looked at me like it wanted help, even getting up on the food dish before it died which it had never done before. But there was nothing I could do.
