Above is th picture of baby Jeb
Hello all, I just brought baby Jeb home yesterday. He(?) looks incredibly well, he's eating like normal and wandering around a bit but there seems to be a few things off. Although I know next to nothing about baby sulcata behavior so take that with a grain of salt (but I'm learning!.)
Im using a 100 watt Tera blue UVA basking spot lamp on one side of his enclosure(20 gal long tank.)
His walking in a mixture of wet and dry coco brick, and has been eating the green sides of Romaine until I can get him some yummy spring mix minus the spinach.
He's been soaking in his water dish a lot on his own, which is right under the heat lamp, and rubbing his eye a bit. I've heard bad things about him rubbing his eye but he also might just be washing his face. I'm just not sure. He's not spent a whole day in there but he's been napping in his dish all morning. He did it a bit last night as well. He also does this funny pulsating motion when I put food down Infront of him. I don't want to be scaring the scales off of him and I'm wondering if anybody knows this motion? He scrunched his head and legs back toward his shell and closes his eyes and pumps his legs a tiny bit and does this for a good minute.. Really strange.
Odd enough behavior or am I being super paranoid? Thank you!!
