I have no idea where It has come from, but bam has got masking tape stuck to him. We have just tried bathing him to soften it and get it off, but no joy, its stuck fast. We managed to get the bits of bedding out of it. The only palce I can think it has come from is IN the bag of bedding.
I fed him this morning, So will probably get a regurge now, But I could not just leave him like it.

Can anyone help, if its easier by phone e mail me your number on paulasparky@hotmail.com and I will phoe you back.

hes probably just a bit battered and bruised, leave him to recover for a few days and watch for signs of improvement or deterioration.

I did start getting worried last night that I had done some damage to him as he was just laying streached out across the front of the viv. Its very unlike him and as he had a meal to digest I would have thought he would go into his hide like normal. Well I'll confess I did give him a few nudgs to make him move, and after trying to bite me again he slithered off and looked to be moving ok. He is now curled up in the cool side hide, so Im going to watch him for a few days, with no handaling, just in case something is wrong. If I think there is Ill get him to a vet to be checked out, just incase, as the tape was stuck right where his meal was, so I did have to hold that area while getting the tape off, so Im thinking I might have given him belly ache!
If anyone has any suggestions or thinks they know what it mightbe, feel free to let me know!

Just glad Bam is ok and has come through this unscathed, even if you have come through it damaged emotionally and physically! xxx

I phoned the pet shop to complaine about it and they say they bag it themselvs, and the funnel thing they use had some masking tape on it, so could have come from there. They said they would give me another bag for free, But i said no. Im going to use some shedded paper as we have tons of it!!! So if anyone wants a carrier bag full of shedded paper for bedding, give me a shout! All i ask is say £1 to cover the postage!!!!
