Current problem is his urate does not look good. I’m not sure why he is dehydrated when he has consistent mistings and dripper. I’ve seen him lick branches that don’t really seem wet/damp but I’ve never seen him drink from the leaves or branches the dripper drops on to. I’ve also seen a decrease in appetite. Not sure if this is just because he’s getting older, close to shedding, or something else. The pictures attached are from today. Any insights would be much appreciated.
