So my Argentine B&W, who is around 27-30 inches long, has not really been hibernating but has slowed down a bit. Yesterday he didnt eat anything which I am ok with cause he has been doing that the past few months, not eating everyday and slowing down like I said. Today he did eat two rat pups and some ground turkey much like he does almost every Monday, now worries. However after he had already went to bed and his light had been off for about an hour, he got up and started moving around. This is unusual for him, he normally sleeps the entire night without waking up. So when I heard him moving around I went in and checked on him. He looked fine and all but was walking around with his tail held up as high as he could get it and still be able to walk around.
My first thought was he is going to the bathroom but he never raises it that high and tries to walk around. He walked around his enclosure like this for about 10 min bumping the top of his tail on anything he could and just generally seeming uncomfortable. After the 10 min or so he went back into his usual hide and went to sleep.
What could cause this unusual walk/behavior?
He just finished a shed, could it just be a lingering shed on his tail he is trying to get off or could he be impacted?
Thanks once again for everyones help and support.
