Today after giving Niko a bath, he spent a good hour or so basking and warming up when suddenly his beard got black and he started having a seizure. He franticly was spinning in circles and bending backwards. He's been eating normally and going to the bathroom too. I've given him a bath afterwards to see if a warm soak would calm him down/hydrate him if he was dehydrated. He's about 4 years old and I've never seen him do this before and it's worrying me to death!
Two hours have passed and he seems to have a hard time balancing and he's still got a black beard/half a black tail. His belly seems to be going back to white slowly though and his beard isn't quite as dark as it was earlier. I'm very concerned since I'm unable to get him to a emergency vet until morning.
A little info on his cage:
40g breeder
Basking temps 100-105
UVB tube rate for 10.0 runs along the entire length of the tank
Carpet substrate
Eats mainly greens and occasionally crickets/grasshoppers
