yesterday i decided i needed to clean Yoshi's tank. I normally take him out and put him on the floor. But this time, I had to take him out outside while i put one of his rocks to wash later, this is around 2pm. as SOON as we went outside, he puffed up and started trying to get away from me. i had to take him in both hands and hold on tight as he was flattened out and BLACK. His mouth was open so wide i could see down his mouth! He was hissing so loud i was scared and i knew he'd bite me.
i was able to get him back in his tank, i had to kind of drop him because i know he can move fast and could have gotten my hand. i put his toys and everything back in the tank right away and turned his lights on for him. but the whole day he hissed and kept his mouth open at me or my bf. we had to leave so i could get medicine and came back. Yoshi was still a bit puffed up and hissing. He'd open his mouth when i walked by the tank. it was about 4:18pm and it's the time i take my medication. sometimes the smoke seeps into his tank and Yoshi takes a nap. this time he ate some worms and relaxed in the shirt i gave him as a bed. a few hours later and he was sleeping with his lights on at around 7:30pm. so i turned off the lights and put up a cover on the glass so our lights wouldn't disturb him.
he seems ok today though a little grumpy. he has not hissed and i even moved him to put some worms in the tank. he ate a few and is just sitting there staring at me. Hes normally chill but yesterday scared me a lot. does anyone know what the heck is up with Yoshi?
