My heart is very heavy as I type this. My little Hatchback is not doing well at all. I live in the Phoenix area and the family member caring for Hatchback left him out 24/7 while I was out of town during the severe heat warnings we have been having. He has an underground hide and they did hose down his enclosure a couple of times a day. When I got home Thursday afternoon I immediately brought him indoors. I have heard people describing "foaming at the mouth" after being over heated. He was not doing this. I soaked him right away and he pooped. Since then he has been very lethargic. When I pick him up to soak him is the only time I see my "old Hatchback." He wakes up and becomes active. He does not like to be handled and during the 1+ years I have had him, I have only done so to soak and put him outdoors. He has not eaten in 4 days. According to my family member he was eating great prior to Thursday. He has not pooped in any soaks after that first one. His eyes and nose are clear, but he sits with his eyes closed 95% of the time. Right now I am soaking 3 times a day. Coco coir/soil bedding. Basking temp of 102, cool side of 84. Humidity is 68%. Light source is Powersun, not coiled. He has not gone into his hide since I brought him indoors. Any advice?
