Photos of Isaac

[Rhyno47]

This is Isaac. He just ate some leaf lettuce with calcium and some of it is still on his face and legs. He was sick for a while with a respiratory infection which made a visable occurrence in pyramiding in his mid scutes. But he is all better now and his shell looks great.

Here you can see the deep crevice between his upper scutes.

He just yawned and looks like he has an overbite.

His vet was rough and used pliers to grab his back claws to pull his leg out. Two snapped off. You can sort of see that he is missing two.

I was feeling all warm and fuzzy looking at Isaac's pictures...oh, what a cute little baby! Then I came to the last one where the vet used PLIERS of all things to hold a teeny, tiny baby's foot out! What a jerk!!! If I were you, I'd try to find a different reptile vet. Those little baby legs are pretty fragile. He could have done untold damage to that poor little guy!

I wonder if we should have a list of vets not to go to on the forum.
SOrry to hear about what happened. Glad to hear that infection is better.
I never knew respiratory infection could cause pyramiding. Could you explain the correlation?

Dehydration i think. Whatever it was you can read it clearly like tree rings on Isaac.

OMG!!! I am so screaming! Pliers??????????? I am almost hysterical...

Yes, I think we need to start a Vet list, but usually by the time a new keeper finds us they've already been to a crappy Vet...Where is that guy, I want to go punch him with a pliers right in his (insert bodypart here)
