My Panther is sleeping with his tongue out???

[Meg4433]

Is that okay?

Thats not a good sign at all! You should get to an exotic vet ASAP!
Don't let his tongue dry out, it will only increase the possibility of a need of an amputation.

I'm not a pro but I've read about similar issues. A vet is highly recommended

Hi, sleeping when he should be awake is generally not a good sign. Coupled with his tongue hanging out is something i would like to see before giving a opinion/recommendation. Can you post pics please.

 

[Meg4433]

He sleeps at night. His tongue is in during the day. Idk.

So is he able to put it back in or is it too swollen?

He was sleeping with his tongue out at night. But during the day he has his mouth open off and on. I just looked at his poop and it had a slight tint of orange to it. Not dark orange just a tint. So it sounds like he is getting dehydrated. I dont see him drink hardly anything. I mist I have a dripped. I don't know what to do he is eating. Is there some type of food that will has moisture. He might be going to the vet on Monday. Any thoughts. I have not been able to post pictures recently. I can e mail pics. I don't have one with his tongue sticking out. Ugh. I got his temperature up too 80 in his basking spot. Humity really low 35 to 55. Mostly in 40's.

His tongue is in during day.
He doesn't sleep during the day.

He can put it back in his mouth
