Kit has been acting funny this last week for sure. I didn't think brumation starts this early??? I live in S. Florida and the temps outside are maintaining, but the daylight is the only thing changing really.
Sun-Tues this past week (end of September), he did not move out of the corner of the cool side under branches. He was awake, but not interested. Weds I got him outside in the direct sunlight for a few minutes, put him on me and just played. He finally ate a little on Wed I believe and had a pretty nasty poo on Thurs.
He got a
bath Thurs and has been stand-off-ish since then. He's slowing down and showing little interest in his greens. I hand fed him 6 crickets today, that's all I had and probably all he would take. He doesn't eat crickets in loads anymore.
Kit will be 1 years old this month, we gave him the Halloween BDate. :evil: He did not brumate last year. I'm sure this is what is beginning here, but how do I know for sure. Also, he hasn't been seen by a vet at all since we've gotten him b/c he's not shown signs of being sick. Should I have a reptile vet see him before the onset on brumation? This year? Every year? I have taken him to Underground Reptile for those guys to see him and check out his overall health and appearance. Everything looks great and everyone else comments on how beautiful and healthy he is.
Again, another change :study:
