i guess i will take him to a vet when i get paid. ( my job hasnt paid me in two weeks!) i read the last post a little too late. i had already fed him 2 hoppers. he handled them like it was nothing. one right after the other. he's back in his cage now just sippin on some water. ill keep yous posted on what the deal is. i think it might just be me THINKIN he is breathign different, considering im paranoid not knowing what he's been up too the past 2 weeks.
