I have a tiger sal. She's some where around 9 - 13 yrs old. I've had her for 9 years for sure though. A few months ago she developed an odd yellow blotch on her side - she's a uniform grey w/black splotches - so the yellow really stands out.
I fed them 3 days ago and today I noticed her on the beach in her viv - unhappy. Thats the only way to describe it. Despondent. I sat looking at her and I realized her eyes are tightly closed. I watched and watched and watched and finally I poured a cup of water through the screen on top of her and she didn't open her eyes or snap at the unexpected rainfall like she normally does. She just ducked her head and took it.
She gets fed gut loaded crickets, bait earthworms - no not the green ones. She's never been ill in all these years and I'm rather attached to her. A DECENT reptile vet is 250 miles away or more. I don't have the greatest camera but if anyone needs a pic I can do my best. Or if you need more info please ask.
