Hi Everyone!
I hope you all are still doing ok after this insane year. Drogon and I have spent time watching TV and cuddling
I've noticed something strange that I wanted to share. A few months ago, Drogon was on vinyl flooring and ALWAYS looking to get out and go nuts. Now, I changed to fine calcium sand a few months ago with no issues. In fact, he seems to just want to hang in his hammock and sunbathe allllll day!
Here are some other facts and behaviors to consider:
- Changed to feeding once a day, now poops every other day (it's pretty stinky x-x)
- Almost a year old
-Noticed some hiding behaviors when he's out of the tank, loves to squeeze under stuff and is digging more and checking out his 2 caves.
-In the mid to late afternoon, he usually loves running around, especially hopping up and down the stairs and always exploring
Also, is it normal that when they get excited they breathing is a little heavier? No bubbles, respiratory sounds etc.
Do you think he's starting to brumate or is he just a lazy pants?
Also, I've noticed since Drogon's last shed, his tail is a bit messed up. I remember helping him gently rub off the dead skin on the end of his tail, but the scales just look odd. Also, no, I did not peel it off He's always had a weird tail tip since I got him, but I'm praying this isn't rot??
LASTLY and sorry for the long post lol, but what is a good way to gently unclog femoral pores? Since he's been a bit lazy, there getting a little larger full of the wax stuff and I don't want them to become a problem.
Thanks!
