*edited to add more photos and more info and eating issues*
This past weekend suddenly our 2 yr old beardie Rojo started to turn a light grey on his head and upper neck. He hasn't been eating or drinking much and has been fairly inactive for weeks. I've never seen this before and it looks nothing like shedding (plus he hasn't been eating much so I can't imagine he's getting any bigger)
This is him normally:
This is him now:
he's in a large 200 gallon tank with wood and tile floor. Reptisun 10 36" lamp (about 5 months old) and 2 150 watt full spectrum bulbs and a 50 watt black light.
75 degrees cool end and about 95 basking. I'm having issues keeping the tank warm enough I think..
Rojo will NOT eat veggies. Never has. Just won't. I've tried every combination of salads fruits and veggies. Tried hand feeding. Tried cutting small. Tried cutting large. Tried rubbing on his nose. Tried EVERYTHING. He won't touch em. Only worms. Won't eat crickets, roaches.. just supers and waxes.. He hardly eats, either. He eats maybe 4 or 5 supers every few days. Just turns his nose up. I dust them in calcium and reptivit vitamin powder, but thats all he's getting. He LOOKS healthy. Rarely blackbeards. Seems fine. I just can't help but think he's not healthy.
