Is there anything i can use to treat him ? my family love him and would be devastated if we were to loose him.please help me to make (Archibald) better. thank you in advance . Marc

Answer
Marc, I would take Archibald to a vet as trying to treat what you suspect is fungal can lead to more damage. I am sure this is not what you wanted to hear but it is my best recommendation for the Tegu. J D Hartzel on Facebook which is a good friend of mine would also be able to assist in this.
