Hello, I'm new here...sort of. I used to find links to the site to get information to help me with a few things, but I only just made an account because I haven't found anything useful anywhere for my current question:
Why is my Toothy suddenly acting the way she is??
I recently changed out her reptile carpet, but it's the same brand I got last time. Other than that, nothing really has changed besides her location, but she's been in this area before. And her beard isn't black with stress.
What's going on:
A few days ago, she started going crazy in her habitat. Glass surfing, messing up the carpet, pulling down her hammock, running everywhere...and it lasts much of the day. She only stops to rest. Sometimes she stops for a few minutes, sometimes she stops for an hour or so. All up until bedtime. But around the time this started, she's begun to take less interest in her veggies, she won't eat as much. She's still a sucker for crickets. She has no discoloration except maybe she's lighter and darker on and off more often. Mouth looks normal. Unless it's close to bedtime, she's crazy when I take her out to hold her too (right now she's sleeping on my chest zipped up in my jacket).
I thought it may be she's getting ready for brumation because of her lack of interest in food (and because she's about a year old now), but because she's being all crazy, I don't know. My mom did research too and thinks she may be looking for somewhere to lay unfertilized eggs, but she hasn't been digging. We put an old towel in her habitat to nestle into, but the most she's done is sit on it. She's not even really drinking water, and her poops are getting less and less, just kind of little little spurts here and there. Not runny.
Any idea what could cause this sudden change?? I'm starting to get worried...
