Think George is unwell

[tryme]

Well lately he has seemed fine and been eating/drinking well and as normal but today he was wondering on the floor of his enclosure and for some reason I knew I could get him out and usually i'm real scared of trying this because he is normally SO fiesty. So I got my white vest kinda chucked it over his body and picked him up so he couldn't bite my hands etc. When I got him out he went quite pale and was closing his eyes every now and then. He has some retained shed and his casque is slightly blistered (perminantly I believe as he burnt it on a basking light when I first got him). Here he is :

Now i'm not sure if he was scared or what but he was barely trying to get away, maybe the white vest made him feel safe? When I put him back he went up to the top of his enclosure pretty fast like he usually does to get away.

It's really hard to say from the pics if you have a problem. Keep a close eye on him.

He seems a little more lively in his enclosure I've ordered his new uv tube as I know its due changing maybe that has played a part but its only just reached the time to change

I'm not sure, from the pics he looks healthy. Full pictures of his body would be a little better.

Please post pictures of his whole body/arms/legs.
How long have you had him?
What specific supplements do you use and how often for each?

Ok will do tomorrow as he is in bed. I've had him about year and 5 months. He is on pure calcium with every feed (every other day) and he gets a multi vit with d3 once a week.
