Is he ok?

[Sue E.]

I noticed Kai went over to his tree now (its only 330 pm here and is lying on it on the cool side (temp 75F). He was basking earlier but he turns darker on this side of the tank. Is he semi brumating? His eyes are open and he is alert but lying there in his tree. Also my daughter says he looks thinner. He has nice big fat pads and a thick but his body is lean yes. Am I just being too nuts about everything? His last poop was 3 days ago, nice and moist with white moist urate, no diarrhea, no weird colors in it. Hes still not interested in his greens (collard, dandelion leaves, baby arugula today with a dusting of grated carrots on top as a treat only). Hes not head bobbing or black bearding either.

He is just relaxing I have that same decor piece, it's always funny when a full sized beardie sits on it. Zsa Zsa was quite upset with me when I remodeled her habitat and she couldn't sit on it anymore. (She still trys )

Yeah, he loves that tree! We tried various other pieces for him but that is the one he sleeps on every night lol.

Zsa Zsa tried, I was always afraid she'd fall so I would get her down at night. That's ultimately why I made it so she couldn't use it as much.

Agree, relaxing I have a similar-shaped piece (not the same, made it myself), and he's up there just in the same pose.

Perhaps you should put a pillow under the branch at night?

She has a soft cat bed I put her in all my guys have beds
It's pretty much a nightly ritual to tuck them all in.

Yeah, I know that. If she loves her branch so much, I was going to suggest putting the branch back and putting a pillow under it in case she falls lol.

Im using it to help support the big piece of driftwood now. She really took to her new setup. She is much more active, and seems over all way more happy so I'm kind of reluctant to change anything. She does still try to perch on the one branch sometimes though.
When Stumpy's new habitat arrives I may give her the one in his if I don't reuse it.
