Hey,
Last night as I was giving Smid his soak (about 5 min in) he started to arm wave - first time he's done this - and then he started to swim around in the tub underwater - also first time for doing this - and then he started to scratch at his head with his hind legs. When I tried to take him out he would climb off my hand and back into the water. But he had developed light stress marks (these went away by bed time). I'm just wondering what set this all off - the water wasn't too hot and he is about a year old.
Another thing I've noticed is when he is eating his crickets he does a weird breathing thing - like a big gasp you can actually hear, just wondering if this is normal??
