He only started acting this way as of this last week. I thought I did enough research on my enclosure and he was fine as I had him for 3 years. I’m feeling terrible at this point. Thank you for the link, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to replace him anytime soon.
He hasn’t turned black.. still has his color but his head cap is now white. The last couple days he would go to the floor of his enclosure. When I went to a store that specializes in reptiles they told me with my new light he would be doing better. But I didn’t call vet back to let them know it...

so I did properly wash all fake plants in enclosure with all natural soap, which I then repetitively rinsed afterwards with water and let soak, and repeated with regular water. when I first put them in his enclosure I noticed he did try to eat them but soon learned he could not take a bite. I...
