OMG... i went to turn on his lights and he looks really dark and he's somehow wet with something?? wth?? he wasnt misted since yesterday! his back is wet and there is a huge white spot!?
At the vet with my baby... vet doesn't know if his eyes look this way due to infection or maybe dehydration but will treat for both... she said he's still a little small and they normally don't do tests until they're a little bigger. they just took him to give him some injections....... my...
Thank you Cammimom... this is what i thought.. but is this why he just lays there and will not drink?? do you think that the treatment with vet will be expensive? my boyfriend keeps freaking me out talking about how he looks like hes gunna die... but i dont think so either.. because hes trying...

I just threaded not too long ago because Frank was acting strange... I have an appointment with the vet tomorrow.. but things are getting real wierd and im trying to see if anyone might have been through this before.. and maybe has some way of helping him feel better.. Im going to just write the...
i dont think he thinks its night. he opens his eyes and crawls around for a little.. but then he just stays still and closes his eyes again.. i dont think hes sleeping though because his eyes are moving and he will turn... but his eyes are closed.. i hope that makes sense...
i think vet is the right way to go.... i was staring at him and i seen his insides jump.. sometimes he looks like hes going to throw up.. ?? its weird... but im wondering if its possible there is live food inside him... im gunna call..
so its 15 minutes into his rise and shine time... but hes still just there with his eyes closed!!! ?? can someone tell me how long does a uvb bulb last? what if it needs to be replaced? would that be causing this?
Thank you for your response, yes I have seen him poop since he was on the mealworms. And about the lighting... see, i've thought of this before.. but he seems to be right on his schedule.. there is a little bit of light in the livingroom, but not much hits his cage. actually hes in a corner so...

hes doing this still. its rise and shine time since an hour ago.. hes still in that same spot. if he feels his cage move he opens his eyes but once he sees its me, he just closes them again. i dont know what to do... this is not normal.
he was perfectly normal all day.. he ate about 5 or 6 of his crickets... then his heat bulb went out.. it was out for like 4 or 5 hours.. but since about 4 hours into his bulb going out he just stood in his basking spot with his eyes closed... he hasnt opened them.. i mean.. its his bed time now...
oh no.. i was talking length! not width.. lol. i always thought that was what they meant by that. now i feel dumb.. lol. long ways they are about from one of his eyes to the other.. from left to right they are about the space between his eyes or smaller. and yes i do want to get these new...
what do you guys think is an appropriate amount of feeders for his age? i feed him small crickets. he loves chasing them. i tried dubia roaches before but he hates them. he wouldnt eat them unless he was starving. and he gets mealworms once in a while. currently he will eat about 15 crickets. i...
hey.. so it recently started getting pretty cold here where we live. i have noticed that Frank is always kinda dark and spends most his time in his basking area.. hes a little slow lately too.. basking temp is around 86-88.. when i got him he was about 6 weeks old and i was told keep basking...
