Well, I decided to put my lizard down. He had cancer, and I couldn't bear him suffering it. The bones in his wrist were literally being eaten away by it and this caused his whole hand to swell up and essentially become unusable.

Here's an x-ray of the bad hand.

Compare it to this picture of what it should look like (Not actually my lizard)

Here's what his hand looked like.

So anyway, instead of paying $500 to get his leg amputated at the elbow/knee, I decided to just put him down. He lived to be over 9 years old, and the vet had told me that that's very old for them. Besides, lizards apparently have a high risk for the anesthetic. I would rather have him put out of his misery.

I don't know if animals go to Heaven, but I hope they do. Rest in Peace Spikey.
