Some background information
Toby is about 7 to 9 months old. He is 11 1/2 inches long with a significant tail nip (only has about 2 inches of his tail. His current set up is as follows:
36'x20'x12' enclosure
tile substrate
105 basking 75 cool end (taken with a digital therm after 45 min.)
Sun Force MVB 100watt 10 inches from basking area
Fed crickets and hornworms only twice a day (dusted once a day with calcium no vit d) herpa vit twice wk
Given fresh veggie salad every day (usually collards and dandelion greens)
Poops once a day
given a bath 5 to 7 times a week
Just finished a shed two weeks ago (but did notice a little shed around his mouth two days ago)
Now the problem. For the last two days he has been eating less and less. He will usually eat 60 or so cixs a day or 40 crix with a couple of hornworms. On Thurs (found a little shed on his mouth) he ate 45 cix. Yesterday only 30 crix and today only 15 so far. I am worried about him and wondering if he is sick. The other day I thought I heard a rumbling sound coming from him but I haven't noticed it since. Just now he was head bobbing at me! :shock:
Could there be something wrong with him or is he approaching adolescence?
Thanks!
