I'm not going to lie I have been noticing my Jackson's eating habits are getting more and more infrequent. I took him to the vet and still no signs of parasites in his fecal. Yet again I did come home upset because the vet failed to get a blood sample. I think I may go to another vet... she just doesn't want to keep poking him and she never gets blood when she does. My worry now is his actions today. This morning when I checked on him he was sitting under his light basking and I noticed his left front and back legs were hanging off the branch. I thought maybe he was being extra lazy today but hours later in the afternoon he had moved and both his back leg was hanging down but his front was barely around the branch. It is now 11PM here in Alaska and about 15 minutes ago I went to check on them again to make sure they were sleeping alright I found him like you see in the picture. Not good ones I'm sorry, I had my phone on me and my actual camera was downstairs. He is hanging sideways grasping with his right and totally free falling with his left..... this makes my heart break and it can't be good. He is still having urate problems with it being mostly liquid and like I said he isn't eating as much as he used to. I get frustrated with him because he just won't eat. I try and try multiple times with roaches, crickets and worms... I have seen him drink so that is one good thing.
Edit: the last picture is an attempt to just show his front leg isn't holding on to anything.
