Ok First off I want to start out by sayong I am going to take him to a vet and having said that here is the issue. I noticed last night he was on his log, not unlike him, and he was just sitting there with his eyes closed. This morning when I got up and his lights came on I noticed he hadnt moved. Thought it was strange but still only half heartedly shrugged it off. I went to work and while I was at work my wife dumped a few crickets in the tank like she usually does in the late morning (yesterday he ate probably 20 to 30 crickets in the a.m. plus his leafy greens and shreadded carrots), and last night he didnt eat anything. Well when I came home today he was still on his log with his eyes closed. He will open his eyes briefly to look at me if he hears me talk to him. but I can pet his head and or body and he wont open them. I gave him a bath which he usually tries to claw his way out of the tub but not today he just sat there. I dont get it.. he has never acted like this.
as for his enviroment its as follows
He is a male
9 months old approx ( i bought him at a pet store and he was at my guess around 8 weeks)
I have him in a 75 gallon tank
I have 2 light a tube UVB that is almost 6 months old (time to change soon) and a Mercury Vapor 100w PowerSun UV for basking
the cool side stays between 75 to 80ish degrees and the basking side between 104 and 112
I have a digital thermometer with a probe and I place that at the basking rock and have one on the cool side
I feed him a variety of collar, mustard and turnip greens with shredded carrots and occasionally apple peices, crickets and superworms.
I also have a under the tank heater for night time heat and that keeps his sand about 90ish degrees.
he is 388 grams and 15 inches long.
did I mention his beard goes real black and back to the normal yellow color that it usually is in a blink of a eye. Any suggestions?
