He's gotten a bit fat, but is doing well now. Had a bit of some sort of vitamin deficency (deremensis apparantly aren't as sensative to vitamins as other montane species...) and his lips swelled up, and his tongue got weak. His tongue's almost back to full strength and distance, and his lips are going down - slowly but surely. I didn't want to OD him, so I introduced some more vitamin C naturally through his feeders. Seems to be doing the trick nicely. He was trying to shoot his tongue at me, so his lips are a bit flared out - the swelling is on the right side.
