I have 2 Chinese Tree Dragons and one is more sluggish than the other , however it is shedding, it seems that there are alot of small bumps on its skin everywhere, under his jaw and the side of his head. They almost look like pimples, anyone know what are they?

I'd really appreciate your help

How long have you had them? It could be mites or ticks. Here is a link to our very own Tricia's, WD care, scroll down to Mites, Ticks then to Fungal and Bacterial infection to see if if resembles what you are seeing.

:D I'm smiling because I have no idea whats going on!

I agree with Marsha, check out Trishas page and see what it most likely resembles...do you house them together? what are your temps? whats your humidity? how long have you had them..if not long where did you get them from and how long have you noticed these "bumps", do you have a source of UVB for them? You say they look like pimples then it sounds like a fungal/bacterial infection to me...you should consider taking a trip to the vet for him/her..also is he defecating normally? By normal I mean not runny or discolored..and also could you take some pics for us..they would be very helpful

take a look at those pics and tell me if the white bumps resemble these adult tree dragons scales...you said they are mostly under the jaw I know babies have different coloration under the throats then the adults so it could be him new pattern coming in...but you can never be too sure so I think your best bet would be to get him to the vet to find out for sure what it is

I have had my two for almost a week, I had a first lizard that died, then I went back to pets-unlimited and got Charlie, he's absolutly health. Then almost a week after I got Cairo, I noticed he wasn't was active as charlie and his grip was different, he wasn't as alert and today he seems worse.

His poop is wet and green in color, I dunno if that's normal but the one that I had that died had the same similarities. The pic you had a link for isn't what I was looking at, it seems like an infection and I think he could have had it a while.

I have everything in order, humidity is good, misting 3-4 times a day. and I have a Reptiglo infrared light as well as the fluoresent. Lots of drinking water as well.

I'm going to head to Pets-unlimted today and tell them he needs a vet, I have a 15 day health guarentee so they better honor it.

Thanks for your help, will keep you posted.

Wow....Looks like hes got some type of bacterial infection...best of luck with him and I hope everything works out good for you with the 15 day thing they should pay for the vet bill..definatley keep us posted!

Just an update on what's up, I brought Cairo to the pet store and apparently one of the employees specializes in reptiles and can help him. He pooped in the box we brought him in but is wan't reg poop but a worm. SO he has worms and definatly some sort of bacterial infection. The guy will treat him for worms and for mites. He's gonna have the lizard till monday and then I gotta check in and hope he makes it.

Meanwhile I have cleaned out the cage, washed all plant and the glass and put new bedding in. SO the other doesn't get sick. The guy at the store alos told me to coat the lizard I have home in Vegtable oil to kill the possible mites.

I dunno if it will work or not. But I hope Cairo will be o.k.

Wow...I hope everything turns out ohk for her, and your other CTD too..just be sure to fully disinfect

Update:

Unfortunately Cairo, the lizard in the pics died. So far thats two I got from the same place that never lasted a week, the replacement I have for my first lizard is doing well.

The pet store said that they would get me another replacement. Buy I mentioned to the guy I was dealing with at the pet store to contact his District manager for me and explain the mishaps I have had and I am requesting that my replacement lizard as well as the one I currently have be taken to a good vet and get a through examination or i'll be returning my $350worth of merchandise bought.

So next week i'll know the outcome, Will keep you posted.
