[QUOTE="Rocky2022, post: 2007992, member: 114919"] So here's the latest. I peeked on Rocky yesterday because it wouldve been his 5th day with no water. I took a paper towel and squeezed water over his head and he began licking and licking. I ran to grab his tub because I knew he needed hydration- here comes the dramatics- I heat the water up quickly then I run back to him, check the temp then try the water bowl first (see, I am trying) but no luck so I then proceed with the bask. I sit for a minute and talk to him so he's aware what is happen and not to startle him. I then ask for a kiss and my poor weak Rocky, kisses my finger. I melted, remove the hide- give him a moment then put him the water. He needed it. Rocky who no longer enjoys baths was soaking it up (literally) like he was having the best moment ever. I sat in silence for the first ten minutes then began whispering sweetness to him for the last 10. I dried him off- put him back under his hide and told him it would be okay. I go to walk off and Rocky came out like HUH WHAT?! I looked again and there was a drop of water near his ear...I freak out, run and get a qtip and took care of it (whew close call). Then Rocky looked around...he ended up staying out so I adjusted the hot side to the appropriate temp (10 was 5 degrees lower than normal) and Rocky was just looking around. I let him be for most of the day. I later opened the blinds- he didn't attempt to run towards them and later I realized that it freaked him out. Later in the day, I sat and talked to Rocky but didnt touch him. He responded. I asked for a hug, he then responded but I didn't - I then felt obligated because I don't want to confuse him. I left Rocky to be by himself- later on, I returned and Rocky began to play with me. WHen I asked him things, he began closing his one eye. I smiled so big. I then remembered duh, he basked all day, he's getting his strength back (yes, I needed a moment LOL)- he ate greens on his own and a few bugs. (So this has to be naps not brumation)- As far as his demeanor- he never blackened- he actually lightened when I got near (yes, I am blushing), he gave me kisses and was very exploratory of his enclosure- His skin/body definitely improved after the bath- no poop - he was very alert. Around bedtime, the lights cut - he looked at me, I looked at him...he then went to bed. He went to his brumation area, not his normal sleeping area but he was facing me this time. Fast forward to this morning- as I am typing this, he is peeking out of the hide looking like an old drunk man watching me. I set up his enclosure like normal but I am going to let him be. I just looked again and his head is fully up but he may be preparing to turn around the other way- So all of this was about nothing but you know that I love Rocky and literally any movement still excites me. Rocky is (supposed to be) 10 months now - time is going to fast. I basically have an adult! [/QUOTE]
