What bulb are you using for UVB?

It was mostly digested. Looked liked chewed spinach rolled into a log. But you know it's leaves due to the color and since he had no feeders for 19 days.

It actually looked like fresh green leaves, partially digested, in the shape of poop. I might have a picture. Carmelo definitely eats his greens. He was on a hunger strike so he had no feeders for 19 days but he had a poop every 3 days.

Well Carmelo went on a 19 day hunger strike only surviving on Pothos and Money Tree leaves. He delivered nicely poops that looked as if they were wrapped in seaweed sheets.🤣

His cage is fall safe. I did that ~March. I added plastic netting. He was falling from branches at that time. That's why we have the weird positions. The netting prevents him from falling to the floor. I'll just continue to monitor him.

I'm 99.999% convinced that he is having tantrums for grasshoppers. There is a slight possibility that he might be suffering from short term memory loss and he forgets to grip the branch. I just don't know. His husbandry is good, uvb bulb was changed in ~March, basking is ~82, he has a dripper...

Her rendition of the warrior pose

She tried to help him to a branch but he started bucking his head and gaping at her. He then climbed onto a branch himself. My grasshoppers just arrived. She is gonna feed him 1 to see his reaction plus today is a feeder day.

My daughter found Carmelo like this

@MissSkittles do you think he's being manipulative? I'm serious! He seems perfectly fine today. Part of me thinks he's having a tantrum for grasshoppers. I haven't had grasshoppers for 2 weeks. I've been giving him crickets. 1st week he ate the crickets. 2nd week he did not eat any...

This is him upside in the Money Tree. Notice him looking at me.

The 2 pics look like he's missing the outer layer of green skin. My Cham has missing skin. The area is now black/ gray in color.

He had complete bloodwork and xrays in late ~ March- early April. Results were very good. Healthy organs and very strong bones. He has been overweight since I adopted him. He's only getting 2 feeders 3 times a week. 1 staple (medium grasshopper or cricket) and a medium horn or silkworm...

I think he ate the hornworm. I can't find it in the cage. I have silkworms and grasshoppers in route.

I haven't had grasshoppers, his absolutely favorite feeders, for 2 weeks. Could he be having a tantrum for grasshoppers? I have ordered grasshoppers. They should arrive in a few days. The gaping happens when I approach the cage.

He gets in these positions and can't move. I think the grabbing of the leg is in response to the awkward positions. Also his movement is limited due to the safety netting I added in March. I know he's not cold because I added a heat lamp. He may be weak because he has refused to eat for a few...

Today he has been gaping. Not like a RI. More like I'm not happy or leave me alone.

@Beman @kinyonga any thoughts?

This is Carmelo today. I don't know what's going on.

I'm sure some experienced people will chime in. I would make sure he is well hydrated. The week before departure, I would add an extra night time misting and if you use a fogger, I would add a few extra hours each night prior to departure. I would also have a fat, juicy hornworm to give him...
