So Drake is about 7 or 8 months old now..I got him in January. He's always been a very huge eater..eats any bug I put out in front of him. However, lately this past week he's been..off. every morning he is literally jumping around his viv with a black beard (the black beard is new..Ive never seen him black beard before until now). Just glass surfing..Jumping up his basking spot..looking like he's trying to break through the glass. He's refusing live food which is VERY odd coming from him. He's pooping fine..his temperatures are between 95 - 110..and I keep him well hydrated. He's kind of a fatty too..so what gives?

Is it really as simple as hormones? I've never seen him refuse live food before..today he ate 2 superworms..and usually he's ALL OVER those. And he won't stop glass surfing. Black beard goes away and he calms down after I pick him up..

I'm not an expert (and can't type either haha) but I'm sure more experienced owners will chime in but my first guess is hormones.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
