After his initial eating of a few dubias/crickets he has now stopped again and is resting/sleeping most of the day but is alert when i pick him up but then goes to sleep very shortly on my arm/chest. Have gone back to feeding him the slurry of blended crickets/locusts with water which he is very compliant with.You can tell he doesnt really love being fed by syringe but hes so good natured he just gives me the old stink eye and drinks it and then goes back to sleep on me. Poops have always been and are still very regular-at least 1-2 a day and all normal colour/not foul or runny/no worms etc.
But Ive noticed around his nose area the skin looks dry and very slightly white.Im beginning to think he might be shedding but he has been like this [low appetite] for a week or two now.Seems very long for the beginnings of a shed but then again what would i know?Im wondering if perhaps the first shed can take a bit longer/have more of an effect on their behavior? Still giving him regular baths/misting which he actually seems to like. Its hard to get him back into the viv after feeding/
bathing...i think he would live on me if he could...id probably let him too if i was warm enough to maintain his body heat!
Im such a worry wort.Hopefully he is just shedding.
