I do agree with the poster above on providing more information on the animal and caging. I keep Spilotes and they can be tricky. You might need to be pretty skilled with your hemostats to tap into what they are telling you and keeping them visually interested in the food. This species also needs a pretty large thermogradient.

I do not agree with the above poster on treatment of parasites before you have a diagnosis. If parasites are a concern, start by having a fecal exam run and work from there. Throwing antibiotics in an animal before you know if there is something needing to be killed off is a terrible practice this hobby needs to drop.
