Pascal seems more lethargic and less perky today and refused food this morning. He's ~9-10 weeks old.
I think he's about to shed; some of his skin is turning a lighter colour. He hasn't pooped today but did so twice yesterday.
We have been bathing him once a day as a general rule for about 10 minutes. It's not his favourite time.
Should bathing frequency be increased to 2-3x daily during the shedding process? Should I be spraying the tank more (currently every morning, feeding, bath time, and night time)? Should I be spraying him more directly? Should I be concerned about his more lethargic behaviour? HE's not holding his head up as much when basking. - don't even know if I could call it basking.
Current status:
Seems greyer / lighter than usual.
It's currently 99 where he's sitting (temp gun). The warm side probe in the photo is well out of his reach. He's directly under the UVB.
