We've had Absolem for about 2 weeks and little one does not seem to be doing well. A good 70% of his time is spent like this... Dark. Lethargic. Squinting and swollen. We think he's about 2-3 months old, and he has very little appetite. Doesn't drink so I have to do droplets on this lil snoot. Just seems like he's scared all the time. Breathes heavily (puffing throat while exhaling). Does this weird "S" wiggle after eating crickets. Gets super discouraged with his food... He's not actively aggressive, but blackbeard's FREQUENTLY and has constant stress marks. He's not skiddish, but has no interest in being held or touched. He'll kind of let it happen for a minute, and then back away.
All of his conditions are optimal. 40gal tank, tube UVB, 2 basking bulbs, ceramic for nighttime. Awesome temp gradient throughout. Humidity always between 30-40%. Has a bask spot, hide, logs, live plants... The works. He's in an area of the house with low foot traffic... I'm just so unsure about this little guy and I just need some advice... He's technically my husband's, so I can't just pull the trigger for a vet visit. Helpppppppp
