Hi everyone
So I'm looking for a bit of advice and reassurance! I have had little Snoot for almost a year now and have spent most of that year a nervous wreck over one thing or another with the little guy although he's always been absolutely fine. He's about a year and a half old.
So the last few weeks he's been eating a lot less just the odd locust and no salad which yeah I get it's winter he's slowing down but he stopped pooping, He's never been a very good viv pooper always preferred a bath but I was having to rub his belly continuously to hit the payload even once a week. His urates have been chalky but he gets water every day even though he mostly refuses to drink any and I mist his salads every day. So knowing that he wasn't pooping and still had food in his gut I kept sticking him on his basking log and giving him exercise and baths to empty his belly.
Moving on to last night he had a bath and did the toilet, refused any food and wandered off to the cold end of his viv wiggled his butt and closed his eyes. Stuck his lights on this morning as normal and I've come home tonight and he was still fast asleep but half opened an eye when I slid the door of the viv open to get a better look at him.
A bit more background: he has never been very good at getting himself out of bed. When he was little and fell asleep in the cool end he would still be there at lunch time the next day awake but not making any move to bask even though his lights had been on for several hours and I would then plonk him on his basking log and he would be quite happy. However in recent months he has taken to sleeping right next to his log so no movement required in the morning.
So I really don't know what he's up to! I never worked out why he wouldn't move to the heat in the mornings but he's been actively seeking out a corner to nap in the last few weeks and I don't know whether he's trying to brumate in some form or what the hell is going on. I also don't know if that could be related to the bout of constipation he's been having and the urates are hard because he's been holding on or if his metabolism has just slowed right down?
I should mention he's in a 4ft with 100w bulb on a dimmer with basking temp of 40 Celsius and has an arcadia 14% uvb and has lino and a sand mat for substrate. He gets bugs about 5 times a week been trying to wean him onto a more adult diet without a lot of success and will only eat rocket as far as vegetables go.
