Hey everyone. My yellow belly boy Kronos has been acting differently the past couple months. I've had him for a few years now and he's proudly sired a couple clutches with my others.
Recently he just won't stop moving around the enclosure. Like I know they are escape artists and can get motivated in the right scenarios to go crazy, but this is just too much. Like he goes for hours and hours trying to get somewhere, pushing off and into things , scraping against the glass and wood and such. Hasn't wanted to eat for a couple months but wasn't worried about that at first since he's done 6 months plus dry stretches befor. Still offer him weekly tho. He's one of those picky ASF eaters lol I'm kind of concerned though because if he was normal and not eating then thats one thing, but days and weeks of tons of moving, he's gotta be burning energy stores. He's thinned out slightly but he's not in any negative looking condition.
His tongues are flicking and he's got no discoloration in the mouth area or underbelly. He just seems crazy hyper which immediately made me wonder if it's a breeding thing? He's bred previously but never went through times like this, although I shelved him this year so he hasn't bred at all. Do male balls have this type of reaction to this time of year for that reason? He's been like this basically April 2024 to now which is June . Maybe if he'd eat then I wouldn't worry much but I'm a nervous papa for sure.
Tried doing a deep clean of his house, all the stuff in it. Gave himself a good clean,.sometimes the coco husk color rubs on him after fresh stuff is added. As of today his hotspot is around 88. Any advice, input or just words of wisdom would be appreciated 😊
