Hiya guys! I'll get straight to the point.
I'm worried about my beardie, Steve. He doesn't drink that much and his eyes are sunken. His skin is also wrinkly, but when I placed him in a warm bath he wouldn't drink.
He's also not been doing the toilet much, even in the bath. However, I feel like I've been a bit neglectful of his feeding schedule (greens offered every day. Live food every 2-3 days. Multivitamins 2 days a week. Calcium 5 days a week. Whole boiled egg every second Saturday. Fresh water every day). I have not been keeping to this like I should be due to college and work, and it's something that I'm determined to change and have been doing so.
However, I'm confused because he's 18.8 inches long but weighs 637g! This concerns me due to his messy feeding schedule. I didn't think he would be massively underweight, but certainly nothing like that.
Lastly, I've read in several places that you should stay away from sand, but I use children's play sand. My mum and I thought that it would be fine since it's meant for children. What are your opinions? Is it possible that this could be causing some issues?
Edit: Behaviour wise, he's lazy but very interested in his surroundings. His eyes are bright and watchful and he likes to know what's going on.
We had a little photoshoot so I could show you some pictures.
