My little guy has been eating like crazy lately. The past three days he's been eating a weeks worth of food each day. His skin around his neck and head is a bit swollen. His back legs seem a bit swollen as well.
I've been feeding mostly dandelion greens, collard greens and bit of romaine and red leaf lettuce from the spring mix. Some crushed Mazuri and repti cal sprinkled on top. Not sure if he is swollen because of huge appetite lately or if it's something else. He has been drinking and basking. I have a T5 across the tank and verified good UVB measurements with a solar meter from zoomed. Temps have been no lower than 80, might have been a bit warmer these last few days and at most an 85 ambient temp. around 98 in the hot spot.
What does swollen skin signify? It does seem like water retention. I've only noticed it today and I watch these guys like a hawk.
