Suddan platted

Question
I have a Suddan platted lizard and for about 2 weeks now he's not eating. I've tried crickets, worms, apples, yogurt, nothing is working. He looks flat like his stomach is empty and his tongue just looks much bigger than it's supposed to be and always hanging out of his mouth. What's wrong with him and what should I do?

Answer
Another tough one.  Your lizard needs veterinary attention.  Unfortunately, said attention will probably cost more than the lizard did and as its already been off feed for 2 weeks it will probably die anyway...  Not the news you were looking for I'm sure.  Where did you buy the animal?  I would exchange it if they'll let you.
