Panicking!

rixavi Apr 09, 2007 06:00 PM

Hey all!

I am really nervous that there is something wrong with my lil Lizzy. He has been in a very very sluggish state for the past three days! He has barely been eating anything, not even his favorite wax worms. All he has been doing is going into his rock cave and sleeping all day. Any suggestions?! No changes have been made since we have had him and he was perking up quite a bit there...

Help!

Rick

Sometimes they will go hide out for a couple/few days and not eat, then you will notice them shedding when they do come out. Just keep an eye on him.

How often should he shed? He just shed like 3 weeks ago.. but I do notice his tail is a bit duller color than it was.

Some time as your UVB bulb is going bad, your lizards will act like that, your bulbs are only good for 6mo. to a year, and make sure the heat is right
