Depressed??

[lyndz]

Hi my jeb has been off his food the last week and sleeping a lot, he's also not goin poos daily
Could it be early bermination?? Although it's only just turned autumn here in Australia
He's eating maby a pinch of salad and 3 to 4 cricks a day he does poo when I bath him so few times this week
He hasn't shead for a few mths and looks healthy colour wise!!!
Any thoughts??

Has his temps changed at all I no a cold beardie can eat less n sleep more and they need heat to digest?

 

[lyndz]

Well ambient temp has dropped a little still low 30c not sure what that is in Fahrenheit and we have had lots of rain so high humidity. He seams to be goin from heat side to cold side ok but I am at work 8-10hrs a day

Is 30 ur basking end ? It needs to b more like 40. Is ur prob at the closest point to ur basking light? N how do u measure ur temps? X

No that's out daily temp here!! His tank set up hasn't change in a year! Close to 40 at basking end with a good temp gradient…
It's a 50w bulb…wondering if I need to turn heat mat back on as I turned it of over summer as it was too hot
Just remember this morn when cleaning his tank the other day I raised his light 2-3".
And he is showing sighs of sheading this morn

How is Jeb doing now? Our Isabelle can sometimes pop herself in sulky corner as we call it, for a bit too long. If it keeps happening for more than 2 weeks we regularly pop her back in the warm end and give her tank decor a change around. She seems happy to get a bit of a change sometimes. We're are at the moment trying to make sure she regularly drinks enough as I feel she got a bit dehydrated which won't help her health and mood.

My female had been doing that for the last week and not interested in eating much ... I gave her viv a full clean out today they get spot checked daily and they get a full clean down every month unless it needs it sooner ...old sand out scrub down dried off left to air out then fresh sand in... Was looking all nice ... every single inch ov the sand has been dug up the little madame ... she even sat under her basking spot which was a relief had a few worms aswell gona give herfresh greens n fruit tomorrow see if she eats them too as she didnt want them today worms were way more appealing

I've done a bit of research and read that sometime they will go into a bermination state where they don't sleep they just go very dormant... I'm think because he's not quite 1 year old he may be doing this getting ready to berminate... I'm still cycling his lights as per normal and offer him greens every few days but he doesn't eat them other than that he looks healthy as... No weight loss so that's good
