Cnemidophorus tesselatus
Aug 30 Mrs. Bert Zool, Umi. Caly, Berkeley, Calif.
is crooked, dry and dead appearing. I lifted th
shelter and could not find anything that th tail
could have been caught on but 2172 ? was inside.
Could 2172 ? have been holding 2168 ? by the end of
its tail.
Sept. 27 Clipped toe nails of 2168. From or five
were slipped close enough to bleed a little.
I painted them with iodine. The toe claws
do not seem to wear down as much as
the should in this cage. Possibly there is not
enough solid rock or packed sand. Even
when they dig to the bottom they have only
smooth glass to dig against.
Oct 17 2168 ? ok - did not seem to suffer. Except for
occasional cold days, all four captive whiptails
have been out every day and have eaten
readily and heartily for at least two month
now - probably longer. When They have ben
fat and healthy looking for about two months.
When they first started coming out regularly,
some of them looked patty thin.
