Hi,
One of my aldabras stops basking in the morning like it used to. On the non-soaking days, he wouldn't eat and would stay in the hide all day. And on the soaking days, I would place him under the basking light after soaking and after awhile he would eat but a lot less than the usual. He normally consumes 3-8 percents of his body weight but now only a percent or less. He used to be very active after a meal and responsive to my voice. Now he just sleeps after his meal and totally ignores me. I have him over a year. this is the first time he's acting like this. and he's been like this for a week now. this worries me a lot.
I haven't made any change to the enclosure, everything kept the same, including lighting and temperature. UVA/B still good (2.2). I checked for discharge around the nose and eyes. there was nothing. He seems to be breathing okay. Anyone has an idea of why he suddenly acts this way? thank you in advance.
