Thanks to everyone. He perked right up and stayed perked up the whole week I kept him. Total quarentine procedures, of course, outside of the fact that it did happen to be the same house - I kept his container in my bedroom, while all the other herps are in either of the two rooms on the other side of the house. Different stuff, totally, and all soaked in bleach-water or boiled 10 minutes after I took him back. No sense anyone else getting sick! I THINK he was just stressed. I had him eating the same salade mix I give my two young iguanas.But he's back at the store. Nervous, I think, but he was starting to move around in the tank there before I left. Mark (my professional herp and fish guy at the store) is also going to treat him with flagyl in a day or two once he's settled in again. Thanks again!
