My Pat is about a year old now and has been exitibing some really strange behavior lately and I was hoping that someone could give me advice.

About 2 months ago I moved Pat from our living room into the room we keep all of our lizards in. I chose to do this because he was showing some signs of anxiety, unfortunately these have not gone away since the move, the only thing I seemed to accomplish was to get him to stop eating regularly.

As a baby Pat was very tame and never frilled out unless he was hot under the light. In about the past 3 months he has started getting very upset any time you go to touch him or pull him out of his cage. The least he will do is frill out, there have been instances where he has lunged at myself or my husband when trying to feed or pull him out.

I took him to the vet, got a clean bill of health except for parasites, which they need a stool sample for. Unfortunately I am not able to find any droppings in his cage at all, even after he has eaten a cricket or been hand fed by us.

I am wondering if these could be related? Is he acting up because he doesn't feel well? Is the aggressiveness normal when they start getting a little older?

Thanks for taking the time to read this and help.
