I took scooter my adult veild cham out for some sun today (i live in texas) so i could clean out his cage. he was doing good just soaking up the sun. i saw a few (like 3 or 4) ants on him. they didnt look quit big enough to be fire ants but i brushed them off of him as fast as i could. he seemed okay walking around and found a new sunny spot. then he stoped to bask. but when he did he had his eyes closed and mouth open. i know they do that when they get to hot so i decided i better bring him in. i tried putting him in his cage and misting him to cool him off but he was just barely hanging there with his eyes closed and mouth still open. hes now sitting on my lap watching me type this. not moving his eyes are open but look very sunk in.
i did a seach for ant bites though the other threads and read that a fire ant bite could kill my cham!! can someone please tell me if hes maybe just hot or if the ants could have made him sick! i have a good cham vet but i dont think i could get an apt till tomorrow if i had to.
thanks for any help or suggestions i can get
