    Re: Seven months off feed

    I'm measuring the temps with a little digital ZooMed thermometer; it's got a small probe at the end of a long wire. I generally just move it around to different parts of the tank throughout the day to check on temperatures. I can try and up the temps a bit for the next couple of days to see what happens.

    I'll try to get some more pictures of the tank during the day. He left a tiny dime-sized poop after the last feeding he took, and it was mostly solid. His weight loss has been pretty much steady the whole time; I should have thought to save that poop to get a fecal check, but I didn't think about parasites at the time and he's obviously not pooping now since there's no food in him. I got him the full vet check-up when I first got him over a year ago, came up negative on the fecal, but that doesn't really mean anything if he's picked something up since then.

    He paces almost every night (sometimes he probably waits until we've all gone to bed); very occasionally I'll see him move during he day, just to go from one hide to another or take a sip of water.
