so a little update here...
I have now tried roaches and since the last post Spyro ate 4. He is still not really feeding as he should be or pooing. so took him to the vet. The vet did a fecal exam and general checks which were all good and healthy. The fecal exam showed parasite eggs, but a low volume that should not be causing any issues, non-the-less prescribed a course of oral paste for 3 days.
Spyro has now (as of today) had the 3 day course. For now he seems much the same, his behavior seems alert in the morning, then snugs down most of the day next to the basking spot in the warm end, basically asleep.
I know know the set up / temps are good. hes treated for parasites and is otherwise healthy, he is not loosing weight... so, could this be my fist experience of Brumation? his behavior has been like this for nearly 3 weeks, and and he is approximately 9-10 months old? is that likely?!
Thanks
Mike
