Hi All,

My adult, unsexed Mexican Red Knee is acting a little strangely. He's sticking to the cool end of the tank, and is not moving a muscle, unless I disturb him. After I disturb him, he settles back down and sits perfectly still. When I first tried to scoop him into my hands, he was stiff and I thought he was dead. But after five seconds he woke up, and I backed off.

Any ideas?

Roger
