Lethargic Water Dragon
My Chinese Water Dragon, Axel, has lately been acting extremely lethargic, sitting with his eyes closed constantly, staying in uncomfortable/unnatural looking positions, and refusing food that is provided. His cage tempretures are the same as usual (I've had him for four years, nothing has been changed.) and he's been offered the same amount and types of food. (Mealies/supers/crickets with occasional waxworms. He's never taken veggies.) His ribs are slightly more prominate as usual as well, but his tail/arms/legs are skinnier than normal.
I have him in a hot bath right now, to see if it will stimulate any movement, (and also to get off a little bit of stuck shed on his toes.)
He's in an 100 gal., and is on a mix of dirt and sand as I found online some odd years ago.
If he continues like this tomorrow, we'll be taking him to the vet, but I'd like to have some sort of knowledge of whats going on before I take him there. :// Thanks.
