....I'm back!!! lol. Long time no posting, but I have to visit you all again for some advice.

because Norman's casque doesn't look straight, anymore. Limbs look good to me, just got his hydration managed again (thank you mist king!), appetite has improved lately. What's the casque thing mean? He's also been gaping a lot the last few days , for no apparent reason. Temps are good at approx. 85 where he's basking. He's as high as he can go under the lamp, by choice. If anything, he could be warmer, don't you think? He's eating well: crickets, hornworms, BBF, BSF and wax worms. Mists 4 times daily 3 minutes each. Urates white. Poop excellent and frequent. Color not bad, but never as good as I'd like. Like, ever. Just shed partially. He still likes to challenge the cats regularly, so probably some stress in his life, but he's active, doesn't run from danger at all (the cats, my hands, seems unconcerned altogether). Do you think I should be worried about the casque thing?

Are you talking about the tilt? I wouldn’t lose any sleep unless it is a new thing, then I would want to know what happened!
 
Yes the casque tilts/bends. I think this has been gradual but I don't like it. I'm worried it's a sign of ill health.
