No more meal worms if your feeding those -- and that is normal for them to bask all day -- what are your surfacing basking temps ? 105-110 take by a digital probe thermometer-- he should be pooping every day two or three times per day --- is he eating salads ?
The meal works aren’t often and not much at all. They’re once a week and only a few tiny ones. I have probe digital hygrometer and I have an infrared digital thermometer to check surface of basking and cook side also. Basking is 110 sometimes 115. He’s not drinking and I’ve been feeling he’s dehydrated.i mist his greens but he never eats the whole bowl and it’s only a little amount. I did some research and from what I’ve seen is that those lumps in his stomach could be a sign of impaction. He only goes to the bathroom once every few days. And not drinking. I tried the hornworms and cut it in half for him and he at 2 half’s yesterday and wanted nothing to do with them today. He’s always black underneath his neck and belly so he’s always stressed. Laying with his eyes closed majority of the day
Yea he does that with his legs a lot lol but I’m more so worried about his lumps around his stomach and bloatedThe leg is called sexy legbeardies do it when they relax. The lumps im not sure about.
Yeah I'm not sure what that is @Drache613 might can help.
He could be 3 months…I’ve had him almost a month and the pet store said he’s only a month or 2. And idk I tried to see if it’s male under the tale and I only saw one lump but I was told sometimes it hard to see when they’re so young. Idk it could’ve been loose carpet substrate…I changed that out yesterday with the black mat instead because I heard carpets not good. And yea the lumps are on both side I’ll call vet in the morning
Carpet wont cause impaction but loose substrate will --- especially sand -- its hard to sex them when they are so young --- are you seeing a reptile vet? We can post a website to find a vet in your area if you like
Yes please! What’s a website? I’m in ohio

I called the pet store that I got him from and they told me the name of their exotic vet that they use to take their exotic animals. They even said since I just got him that the vet visit won’t be charged to me and that they’re covering any expenses for the visit/care! So he has a vet appointment Thursday! I will update everyone when I get results!
NO ENEMAS--- as little as he is it could kill him- we never recommend enemas! Why are you taking him in?
Good deal
