>>The only weird thing now is, he just doesn't move.. I left this morning and came back - he was in the same exact spot, i would think he might run around a little
I thought forever he had a health problem and at first he did have coccidia but that has since been reduced to acceptable levels.
He still doesn't grow much at all but has no signs of illness I can see. He looks healthy, has great looking poo (that just doesn't sound right), eats a decent amount, has good color with no lines on his underside. But he just sits there and stares at things.
He seems mentally "special". The other day, after reguarly gulping up a couple moths and had been for a couple of weeks, he decided this time he would actually head bob at the moth. Did his head bobbing until I took the moth out. Next day gobbled up a moth without hesitation.
Sometimes he will not eat a worm until I bump it on his nose two or three times. Once he comes out of his "trance" he grabs it real quick!! The next worm is the same way. Other days he will just go nuts after the first one and every one thereafter.
He is the cutest little guy though and so sweet. I got him at a pet shop which I know I shouldn't have done now but the person that takes care of the reptiles there does a top notch job. Anyway, I don't know if she has a say in choosing the supplier so I'm racking it up as an inbred. It's sad but I love him anyway.
So maybe you got a "special" one too  !
