So my little dude Rocket, Who isn't so little anymore. Has lately been showing off a constant pitch black beard almost 24/7.
He's been hiding, puffing his beard out and breathing very heavily and acting deathly afraid of everything. He's always been such a sweetheart that will come up to the front of the tank just to say hi and loves interacting with people usually.
But now he has been really defensive and scared, he even acting for at least a week and a half, He's around one and a half years old, 230 grams, 20" and eats decently. Could this be just hormones? But I also have noticed that his right wrist will sometimes Bend forward a bit when he's standing up straight, and that Seriously worries me. He's never shown any signs of MBD and gets frequent dustings and has a reptisun T5 bulb.
He's been like this for about a week. His beard is actually a bit Lighter in the photos, usually it's a pure black.
View media item 60433View media item 61071View media item 60773View media item 61054He's also about to get a tank upgrade from a 40 gallon to a 120 gallon probably around tomorrow.
But with his constant black beard, hiding, and beard puffing has got me really really worried. And I need to know if I should schedule a vet appointment for him to see if there's anything wrong. Mulder is getting an appointment soon as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
