Hi everyone,
My little guy is a little over a year old. We are very regimented on schedule and feeding. I noticed yesterday morning he was still sleeping. Normally he is waiting on his food platE. He did eat but not all but that’s not all uncommon. When I got home from work I put him out in the sun and he did graze and seemed fine. This morning he was on his basking rock but not asking for breakfast but did eat but not all but for the past two days he is not asking to come out when we get home like normal but rather sleeping. We soak everyday for 30 minutes and he poops. He skipped one poop the day before yesterday.
Last week I had a problem with his lights. His regular light blew out and I went to the hardware store and got the regular flood lamp and put it in and it only lasted two days so I went and got another one which also blew out. So then I decided to order the same light that I’ve had for him that’s been working properly and a new fixture from Amazon. During the two days of light problems and the lights going off during the day while I was at work the temperature was very close to the humidity level. Humidity level is usually 75 to 80 and the temp had fell to around 80° in His humid hide where he spends most of his time. The enclosure is on a thermostat so never really goes below 80-82.
The other thing I noticed is he does sneeze occasionally during his soak because he struggles so much to get out and sometimes I think he may aspirate some water.
Today when I lifted him up to examine him as I do every day I saw clear bubbles coming from one side of his nose. He has also sneezed once during his soak right now. Hasn’t pooped during the first 15 minutes like he normally does. So I’m thinking he either got a respiratory infection from the lower temperature or he aspirated??
Please advise. Thank you in advance!
