Do fence lizards not stiffen up when they pass on? Need insight from lizard fans
Feel horrible about it! Was looking at its pal, when this all occurred. I didn’t even step fully down so am shocked it might have been too much for the little guy, but I immediately saw a tiny blood at its nose & ’gill’ or side vent. I put him in the shade for a couple of minutes, and may have seem him breathe his last. Am not sure. Saw a few ants soon after, so put him in a box & have brought into work with me, just in case he’s in shock mode & can somehow recover. Does he need sun/heat or water? He’s now semi-limp but I’m surprised he’s not stiffened up, even tho’ it’s now been an hour since the accident. Is there no hope, or could he go into a momentary torpor as he tried to ’deal’ with the injury? Or is blood by the nose/breathing hole just a horrible sign that it’s all over. Thanks for any info!! |
