Depression?

[Rukii]

So my girl Lotan has been acting what I can only describe as depressed. She's eating, pooping, basking, staying awake, but the whole time she basks, she flops over her basking spot with her head down and eyes half closed. She just mopes around. She'll be energetic when she eats, but then right back up to her hammock to look all sad. This is going on the third day that she has been like this. It's really unlike her. I did move her tank and rearrange my furniture in my room, could it just be stress? She's not shedding at the moment, and I have a reptisun 10.0 tube and proper temps. What do you think it could be?

Could it be semi brumation? Boga just sits under her light too with her eyes closed sometimes. She does this alot in the winter.

Mine has been acting odd since temps dropped too. Not eating much. Doesn't want to bask much and would rather hang out in his cave and just watch life go by. I would say he wants to brumate, but he is still eating somewhat so IDK? Either way I feel your pain. It just gives us something else to worry about with them. lol I hope yours is back to normal soon.

I was thinking that, since my girl Ruki was brumating for a few weeks. I tried to put Lotan in a comfy fabric-lined shoebox that I used for Ruki, but she refused to sleep or go in there. She is still eating and staying awake, but I guess she is just slowing down for the winter. Hopefully thats all it is. They do make us worry so much :laughing6:
