This past week Larry has stopped eating and just being laying around barely moving. I have been away at college and my brother has been caring for him. He’s 4 years old. I came home this weekend and realized he had the wrong bulb in (100w instead of 150w) so the temperature was off by about ten degrees. I have since fixed this and have his basking at 95, warm side 80s, and cool side 70s(he immediately moved towards the heat when i switched it.) He has been dragging his body more than normally walking. Originally I thought it was constipation so I had my brother give him a bath every other day this week and he pooped three times. Does not seem to have helped. He drank while in the bath as well. Today he pooped and it was an odd yellowish color and kinda mucus like. He is also very angry which is not normal for him. Could the temp change have caused brumation?(he has never brumated before). UVB is a 22in T5ho and I just replaced it within the last month. He was eating a mix of dubias, wax worms, super worms, and horn worms along with collard greens. However it has been very cold/snowy where I live so only super worms have been available. He has gone a couple weeks in the past of just eating superworms with no issue before. I’ll attach a photo of him / his poop so be cautioned if you don’t want to see that aha. Trying to figure out if a vet visit is needed or something else is happening as I am a very broke college student and it will be hard to afford. (also he looks a little odd in that photo but he has not shown any signs in the past of mbd movement wise)
