Re: Small George/worms
Hi Nina, I came home yesterday to a very lifeless George. I first thought he was sleeping but bathed him and put him back and he literally hasn't moved at all since I put him back.

Re: Small George/worms
Thank you both for your replies, I'll attach a few photos in a moment. I called around 4 vets yesterday, the last one I called said they did deal with reptiles but aren't in any means experts so they gave me details of someone else that is and I took him there.
