Ugh. I just cant figure out whats up with this little guy! :? Hes driving me crazy!
So the last week or so, he has been wanting to sleep on the cool side of his viv all the time. He isnt acting lethargic or sick, but he just wants to sleep! If I put him on his basking platform, he will leap off and race to the cool end, plop himself down, and curl up after about 5 minutes of basking. The last 2 weeks, he hasnt has much of an appetite either. I thought it was from the Panacur he had about 2 weeks before this all started, so I gave him some soy yogurt like some of the members on here reccomended. He is better, but he still doesnt have the massive appetite that he used too. Even if he is trying to brumate, I cant let him because Im pretty sure his parasites still havent cleared up.
Here is my set up: 105-110*F basking, 80-85*F cool side in a 40 breeder tank. The UV light is a Reptisun 10.0 I got in Jan., and it is 8 inches away from his basking spot. I feed him super worms (he wont eat anything else any more), and what ever greens I can get into him... He doesnt like his salads yet. I use a digital probe thermometer. He is 16 1/2 inches long.
Is he actually attempting to brumate, or is there something else wrong?
