Hi all.
So I’ve had Nipp for around a year now and he doesn’t seem right at all.
Few weeks back he stopped basking all together. I’m not sure what could be up with him as he seems to just want to hide under his basking log all the time.
He will come out for food but only eat a small amount then go back under the hide again. I’ve tried taking this out but he will then look for another dark part of the viv and place his head under there and that will be his new spot.
He hasn’t been the toilet for a week or so but I presume this will be due to lack of backing and therefore he’s not digesting his food properly.
He has a 40 gallon enclosure
Basking temp of 98’4f
Cool side of 82.5f
UVB is a Arcadia desert 10%
He’ll eat mixed salad, mario worms and locusts
Really am getting worried as I’ve tried everything. Lowering temps, moving the hide, even when placing him under the basking light he will only stay there for around a minute then will move himself off again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
