Are his eyes coated as well? and is he responding?

As far as the sagging under his chin.. Is his jaw sagging as well? If so its Metabolic Bone Disease or MBD... Do you supplement his food? and what do you feed him? he probley needs more calcium..

If your not coating your crickets or worms with calcium then you need to.. hes probley having problems if you havent been.

Some signs of MBD are:
Weak, flimsy legs/limbs
Drooping jaw bone
Lethargic, little movement whatsoever
Loss of body mass

Please post a follow up and maybe a pic and ill try to help you.
