You can't know that for sure. So don't beat yourself up over it.
You said it was already in trouble.
Even the most skilled rehabbers lose animals from time to time.

Merlins right, you can't beat yourself up over it. I know you are awesome with reptiles and make for a great rehabilitator. This was not your fault and you shouldn't blame yourself for it. And about getting a water monitor, I'm sure you know this...but they get really big.

I'm sorry you didnt get a chance with the little guy. But you have to remember, reptiles are masters at hiding their illnesses by design. So by the time you start seeing symptoms...they are really much sicker then they are letting on.
Keep trying where you can and don't get discouraged....the world needs more caring people like yourself

Where are you going to keep them?
That'll be one bunch of BIG lizards!
