Your lizard looks relatively active from this video.. and had a healthy appetite. However, this isn't a recent video, right? It hasn't fed in 3 1/2 weeks.. I think this is what you wrote?



If properly supported, with the right heat, humidity, hydration and so forth- he/she would be able to digest that crayfish with ease. So, you should focus less on that incident and more on how to support him/her better.



You should try to stick to rodents solely.. crickets would be good now if he/she will accept them.



The issue now is sorting out what is wrong so food is accepted again.



So, my suggestion is to make these changes sooner than you plan too... immediately. If you haven't measured your basking temperature recently.. please do so. Please incorporate the light -inside-, closer to the basking site, you will achieve the desired temp with ease this way.



Remember that your room that you allow him to roam in- is not his cage. This space isn't all to important. The enclosure is- its home. When it roams your room, your exposing it to a low humidity environment..



Dehydration is a main consideration.. and proper humidity is important. All of which is relative to husbandry and your animal will fail without change.



Again, I will emphasize this- changes have to be made so food is accepted again. Let me know how the crickets go. Measure your temps again or get a means to do so.
