I've posted a few threads on JoJo so far, but today isn't a good day. The past 2 days he's been keeping his eyes closed and head high. He was still moving around and exploring but was refusing food. He is keeping hydrated, I've been giving him supervised baths every day to every other day. He drinks during every bath including his bath today. But he just won't take food. He just stares at the dubias as they wander around the dish. I tried demobilizing them and offering them with prongs but he wouldn't take them. I got him to take 2 earlier by just pestering them until he bit them. There was this odd popping noise when he chewed. I'm not noticing any struggles to breath but clearly something is wrong. I've been turning off all of his heat sources/lights at night and the temp never drops below 70 but I noticed this morning that the humidity spikes. I'm going to try having a fan on the lowest possible setting angled down the screen of his tank and see if the airflow keeps that humidity low. He gets supplements with his food (even though I've had to make him eat the past couple of times) regular hydration, his UVB is a ReptiSun 10.0 T8 tube and he has a basking bulb as well as a CME to keep his hot side temps around 105-110. He's not completely debilitated but I have a feeling that he's only going to get worse if I can't solve whatever issue he's having. He's in a 40 gallon breeder that I had one half blocked off. I opened it up today thinking he was ready but now I'm thinking he made need to be in an even smaller tank for the time being. Any input is welcome, I've had to make a lot of habitual changes since getting this little guy but I don't think I'm doing anything wrong now that I've fixed a couple of things. Hopefully you guys have some wisdom to help me out
