Ok I get home from work, usual time and I begin my usual routine with Iggy... As soon as I walk up to his tank I notice him curled up inside his hide instead of basking.
I remove everything from his tank like I normally do to clean, while I drop a few crickets in with him for dinner. he ate his normal amount of crickets right away and I had left about 6 small mealies for him to nibble on while I was at work along with some fresh dandelion greens and carrot leaves with some shredded butternut squash but it didn't look like he had even touched it.
He drank some water while I dropped in on his head and about 30min later I took him out for some attention but I wasn't able to hold him! he was trying to jump all over the place including off of me, onto my couch and even tried jumping off onto the floor. (I worry about this because I have 2 very curious cats)
I tried to be persistant and calm him down by holding him, cupping him in my hands, even rubbing his chin but he just kept trying to frantically jump off me. he usually very calm! he has been since the first day I brought him home
I did this for about 10-15 min then put him back, as I put him he jumped up onto his log then straight into the glass, ran around like crazy, then stopped in the corner of his tank and had a very watery stool, almost looks like a clear mucus, no brown or black at all however I could still make out a small amount of the white uric acid...
He seems to be acting totally fine right now basking on his log as I sit here freaking out, the devil!!
My husbandry is all correct, correct temps, and the right lighting.
the squash is new to him, and so are the leaves from the tops of carrots but like I said I don't think he has touched any of that.
Only thing that worried me is the mealies which he has been eating for the last couple of weeks and loving them! he has been pooing every single day including the one he did some time earlier today before this little freak out.
Anything I should be concearned about here???
