bottom

I have had an adult male Nosy Be that usually sleeps at the bottom, in a planter, and has done so since I have received him. He goes down there periodically during the day, as well. He is fine. I think he just likes cooler temperatures. Was your female doing this all along, or is this something new? Does she seem healthy? keep an eye on her.

Jacksons becoming lethargic like that is never a good sign. Maybe recheck your temps. A 75w bulb may be way to high for her. 80°f. Make sure she is getting that good night temperature drop. I would double check everything, get some photos, and pm the user mike fisher. He will be able to tell you if it is time to panic and run to the vet. It doesn't sound good though. I am sorry.
