Hey guys, meet Pancake. She's a sweet, chunky, lazy girl.
Lately, however, she's been not so lazy and acting kind of funny. Normally she just relaxes on her hammock or the basking platform but as of maybe 2 weeks ago she started pacing and scratching at the glass. Interestingly enough, she only does it when it's quiet and nobody is around (that she can see). Like in the morning when her lights come on and I'm still sleeping. Or later on in the day during nap time. I thought it would pass, but it hasn't.
She's been having healthy poops, smaller than usual though. I've felt her belly and it doesn't feel lumpy or like there's any eggs in there. She's been getting the same amount of greens and roaches as when she was acting more herself. Nothing I've been doing is any different than it was before.
She is currently being housed in a 55 gal tank (upgrade soon). The 'substrate' is ceramic tile. She has a Zoo Med T5 UVB bulb, mercury vapor bulb, low general humidity with regular mistings. View picture for her setup.
I will be on vacation for 3 months starting in a little over a week from now. What can I do to remedy this before I go?
