Well he's about a year old I'm guessing judging by his size(about 2 feet) does that sound right? Anyways, he seems to have a swollen vent. Its really small compared to some of the pics and vids I've seen but it still concerns me. I gave him a sugar bath tonight but it didn't seem to make a difference. I had seen it before on him but thought is was just stress so I thought little of it, but after reading a few posts I checked him and its still there. It doesn't seem dried out so I'm not sure what the deal is. I also noticed that while in the sugar bath his longest toe on both back feet was twitching. He hasn't been eating as much and sleeping later but I just figured he was getting ready to hibernate, but now I'm concerned that there is more to it. Any thoughts guys? He's eating mostly ground turky and beef liver, with an occasional dudia roach or two calcium pretty regular. He has uvb and a infared heat lamp. Uvb on about twelve hrs a day.
