The vet visit went good jim! He has an infection in his mouth and wasn't eating or drinking due to the pain. He is going to be on an antibiotic and a mouth cleanser for about a week and the vet said he should hopefully perk up!

I am thinking of upgrading to a screen, 29"x29"x72" cage and getting live plants b/c we currently have none. Also, we have done more research resently on the melleri discovery site and according to them he COULD possibly be a she! Hopefully the vet can shed some light on that tomorrow! I know...
