Wanted to provide an update. This morning Viserys took an absolutely massive poop and then proceeded to devour 4 of his crickets (The first time he's gone after his prey in almost a week!) Not sure if it was the change in UVB or if he just had some sort of intestinal trouble but it's definitely...

Vet called and said it was a negative for parasites which is both good and frustrating as the cause of his illness is still a mystery. He ate twice more today from the syringe and I gave him another bath before I left for work. He seems to have more energy than yesterday now that he's eaten...

I'm home from work and I've given Viserys his bath and some baby food mixed with calcium. Thankfully he actually took it without needing to be forced. Managed to get around 1mL of the mixture in him before he didn't want it anymore. Not a lot but it's good to see him eating anything at this...

Yep, that's what the vet suggested as well. She also sent me home with some curved syringes to force feed if necessary and showed me the proper technique. She said it's really important that he eat something. So Viserys probably won't be happy but I'll make sure he gets what he needs and...

Edit: Apologies, wrong thread.

Hey. Thanks for the replies. He's currently in a 10 gallon starter tank that we're looking to upgrade as soon as possible. The UVB could probably use replacing as its just the basic bulb that came with the starter terrarium. I have a reptisun 10.0 tube coming this week that I plan to swap in to...

This is him just a few minutes ago after we woke up. Normally the warm end of his tank is 95-100 with the cool side being 80-85. His night bulb only keeps it around 85 which is why the thermometer is reading so low in the pics (we just turned on his day bulbs.) Just called the pet shop and the...

Hi guys, So about a week ago we adopted a baby from Petsmart. Everything was well until a few days ago. The little guy started acting really lethargic and not eating. So we took him back to have him looked at as per the adoption policy. They held him for observation the past couple of days so...
