Hiya,
I've noticed today that Colin has been sitting with his mouth open occasionally - any ideas what this means? I don't think he is mouth breathing, and he only does it for about 20-30 seconds at a time, and goes for ages without doing it again.
I did wonder if he could be thirsty, so gave his viv another good misting, and set up a rather crudely made home-made dripper - he moved towards the drips and I think he must have been geting some splashes because he was (i think!) licking his lips. I've never seen him physically drink, but when I got him, he had orange urates, which are now white (I'm assuming they are meant to be white?) - so he must be drinking at some point...
Any ideas? I have enclosed a photo - not the best quality cos was taken through the glass cos I didn't want to disturb him!
