Hello everyone,
I have a Sulcata about 3 mo the old. I e been noticing he is doing a strange behavior when soaking. Normally he just relaxes or walks around in warm water no problem. But occasionally he pushes up as high as possible on his front legs his head drawn all the way in and doesn’t use his back legs. He wobbled around just using his front legs but not really going anywhere. One time he did this he actually got his head stick so far in he almost drown. I put very shallow water in with him but i can’t figure out why he’s “straining.” I don’t know if he’s annoyed/hurting/wants out? He poops and pees fine. I do worry about a kidney stone causing some kind of pain. Thoughts? Anyone seen anything like this? I wanted to get a picture but usually I’m freaking out when it happens.
