Danny has been with me for YEARS 4-5 not sure how old she was when we got her

not a baby lizard.

she has been lethargic, looking very thin, and has a bit of a twitch to her head lately.

pumped up her heat lamp (live in the north east) and have offered mulberry worms (not interested) waxies(not interested) crix running around.

could this be old age?

she had a shed recently that stuck more than usual, i found myself with the most qtip getting it off toes, neck and around her head. (have done this with some of my other reptiles in the past when shed is stuck). had her out for some love and hugs and pets for awhile dont want her to think ive given up on her.

does any of this sound familiar?

thanks

lethargic and thin, i would say some kind of parasite, twitching can sometimes be associated with calcium deficiency. either way i would get her to a vet
