My Russian looks puffy around his front legs but only occasionally. I’ve only had him a week so I’m not sure what is normal. These photos were all taken at the same time and show the ‘puffiness’ and then what he looks like most of the time. Could he be fat? The pet shop I bought him from fed him fruity pebbles and Timothy hay, and since I’ve had him he’s been on organic dandelion leaves, spring mix and mustard greens, and I’ll introduce more as we go along. His basking spot is around 95, warm end is 82, cool end is 72. Night stays around 72. I’ll be taking him to a reptile vet for a fecal exam in the next week or so.
