Ok. So. My spikey son JubJub has been acting odd for about a week now. Ive tried reading up about Brumation but i get alot of varied answers. Jubby is only 14 months and before last week i had never heard of brumation. He is my first reptile and i really am doing my best. Can someone give me a really detailed explanation of what it is.
These are his symptoms. He doesnt seem to sit up on his log and bask. He just lies on his tiles under the hear sleeping. Hes not running around as much. And for at least 3 weeks, everytime we bring him out at night to watch tv or whatever he tries to burrow into/under anything. Including our armpits. Lol. But more recently he has been having what sounds like a cough? Like a little puff of air. He has been eating his crickets still but wont touch his vegies. I had crushed walnut shells in a small part of his tank for a few months (i didnt know any better) and thats where he used to dig in and sleep. After reading some scary stuff ive thrown it out and he has tiles and fake grass. Im not too good on naming my bulbs and stuff. But its suddenly in the last few weeks gotten freeeezing here in australia and his tank is glass and has been struggling to hold heat. I also failed to realise for like a week that his water had all evaporated. So idk if low humidity would make him act like this. Ive insulated his tank and have an appointment with an exotics vet in 2 days. If anybody has any advice. Id love to hear it
