Cage Info:
Current Problem - He seemed fine the first few days in his cage. And eats a lot. But I noticed today he was at his basking spot with his eyes closed but everytime I got closer sometimes it seemed he was just looking down. So I left him alone for a while then he got into sleeping position eyes closed and tail curled up under his basking light. Then I put some crickets in his cage and he uncurled and ate all of them. And he seemed fine and I left and came back and he was walking around again. I had tried looking up if it was normal and a lot of things said it was a sign of illness. But some things said it was normal. Does anyones else do this? Should I be worried?
