QUSTION ABOUT MY RIGHT AT A MONTH OLD TEGU???

[Heathershea]

So we just got a baby b&w tegu(turbo) and he has been doin.great and we gave him a cricket from out side cuz we didnt think there was much a difference frm tha store bought and tha wold ones. But now he is actin werid like not wanting to open his eyes or anything is something wrong with him or is he just tryin to sleep? Plz ur answers would be very helpful..

Don't know if there's anything wrong with him or not he could be starting to slow down and trying to sleep since it's that time of the year.

At the same time there's no telling what the cricket you gave him has been in, ate or was carrying. There's a reason why people breed their own or buy them from a store.

Hopefully your little guy is okay and just trying to sleep.

Right about this time of year b&w's and extremes will start to slow down (sometimes) sometimes they won't til december sometimes they won't at all, its up to them when they want to really

A bit of info about your setup will help, size/type of enclosure. Substrate? Temps, ambient and basking, humidity, types of bulbs, how are you measuring temps and humidity, diet other than the cricket you fed??

Well if you're using any kind of coil bulb, they are notorious for causing eye problems. MVB is the best way to go hands-down. But yeah if you happen to be using a coil bulb, that could be it.
