I love Linus, I really do. That little stubborn reptile had me wrapped around his little orange feet. But he is driving me up the wall! Over the last week hes gone from my happy, but stubborn little lazybones into a little crazy ball of attitude.
From the moment he notices I have gotten up in the morning until I let him out, he starts pounding at the glass and fussing to be let out. No snuggle time, just dashing around the house like a speed machine.
He refuses to eat anything at all, even his favorite worms, but he is shedding, so maybe the refusal to eat is that? Shedding doesn't usually put him off food, not for long anyway. Ever since he woke up from his winter slowdown he had been eating steadly, so this is surprising.
Now I did recently move him into a larger enclosure, 4x2x 15 inches tall. He has a zoo med high output 10.00 uvb running all along the back of the enclosure, and the bulb is brand new. his temps range from 85 to 101 so he has a range of temps to choose from. he has all of his old furniture except for his old basking ledge, which would have placed him to close to the lights, but he does have wooden branches to climb on, and his old hide and fluffy couch to lounge on.
I swear worrying about that lizard is going to drive me completly round the bend.
