Both had been attacked by a cat. The first one, named The Lizard of Oz, had a puncture wound and died shortly after we'd bought some Baytril antibiotic from the vet. The second (Stumpy Erik) had no apparent injuries other than a lost tail. He too died, after a few hours. Could it have been shock? They had UV lighting and a exo-terra heat stone, reptile substrate, bark, rocks and grass to explore in. I intended ...
