Hi,
I'm new to this website, but i joined because I'm worried about my breeder. Hes a rescue and his name is Norbert. Hes fully grown and about 22 inches long from end to end. Hes in a 40 gallon breeder and has a full spectrum/heat lamp (160) and a 150 watt night light.
My problem is that when i was giving him a bath, cause he got poop everywhere, i heard a splash and i looked over and it looked like he threw up. There was a bunch of undigested greens and super worms in the water, but i didn't see any bile.
I took him out of the water and put him in is holding container. He was still breathing heavey and opening his mouth and puffing out his beard. Then he went really pale, hes normally a slate grey color and he turned to a very light grey.
I carefully dried him of and got him under his heat lamp to warm up, and his color returned.
Later that same day i offered him a super worm and he took it without hesitation, as well as the food that i offered him later.
its been a day and hes moving around normally, as much as he really does, hes lazy, and he seems to be eating fine.
Does anyone know what this was, if i should be worried, and what it should do about it?
nothing I've found online really applies.
