So I found a silverfish in my beardies tank today. I killed it and took it out. Idk how long it's been in there but it's dead now. Hes been acting weird. Hiding all the time and only eating bugs and not touching his veggies. Idk if the silverfish could have made him act like that or what. Has anyone else found a silverfish in their tanks?

First of all ewww! I've never found one in my beardie tanks but have found one in my frog tank. Just give him a good once over and make sure he wasn't bitten or anything. The fact that he's eating bugs is a good sign, means the stray bug in his tank didn't scare him off eating other bugs.

How old is he?
