Hey guys. I am a new beardie daddy, so forgive me if this question has been answered a million times, or belongs in a different category. If it does belong in a different category, please put it there, and sorry in advance.
I'm not entirely sure about his age, but my little guy(?) Benedict is about 8" from tip to tip. I have him in a 30 gallon terrarium with a Reptisun 10.0 fluorescent, a basking spot temperature of between 100-110 degrees with a gradient down to 80-85 degrees on the cool side.
He has been doing really well so far, eating plenty and shedding(the shedding made him kinda grumpy). But today, I fed him his breakfast of Collard Greens and dusted crickets and he wouldn't eat any of it. He took a couple half-hearted shots at the crickets, then ignored them. I also noticed he hasn't pooped in a couple days. He is being far more active than usual: glass surfing and running around more than normal(he usually spends a good bit of the day basking). I tried to pick him up, and he wasn't having it at all. He didn't get aggressive, but clearly didn't want to be held.
Being new to this, I have looked to this page for a lot of knowledge on the topic. So, am I being paranoid? I feel like I am(I'm a bit of a worry wart), but I wanted to get advice from the more experienced.
