Hey everyone,
So earlier today I was taking my ~1-year old Redfoot out for a walk, and I fed him an earthworm from the garden - only to find out that my dad had earlier treated that patch of soil with a pesticide (Chlorpyrifos).
I did wash the worm with tap water before feeding it to him, and so far he seems to not be showing any adverse side-effects.
I will probably book a vet checkup ASAP, but there are very limited reptile vets in my area so it might not be soon enough. Does anyone here have experience with pesticide poisoning? Any insight would be much appreciated.
