- History - This was a WC that was housed indoors, lost while basking outdoors, then found again 2 months later. Now is housed outdoors. Have never had any health problems before and didnt have any apparent problems when I re-caught him. Has been in this outdoor enclosure for 2 weeks now.
- Current Problem - There is a medium size swelling just past the anus which appeared 3 days ago (this is the 4th day). I dont see any bite marks or any obvious indication that something else in nature caused this, like ants or other outdoor insects. Also, he is spending a good amount of time on the bottom of the enclosure. Though he moves up and down the enclosure all day long. His sleeping spots are up high on the branches. Is eating normal, drinking normal, moving around a lot. I did notice some red ants eating a dead cricket and was thinking maybe the swelling occurred from an ant bite..? The swelling has not gone down over the last 3 days...at least that I could notice.
