Hi Matt,

I raised the temp up to 91.5 now on hotspot, still trying to raise it more as you suggested.
Fecal is on it's way to the vet by now.
The hoppers I buy at the local store and I gutload them myself.

I did covered the cage with a big blanket to avoid any stress situation.
About an hour after I did this I noticed a big behaviour change.
The lethargic male is running around in his cage like a mad man.
Now I did took a good look at how I did positition the cage, I noticed they can see my tank with snakes.
Can it be possible that's the cause???
Maybe he does see the snakes at the other side of the room and this caused stress??
(my females aren't lethargic as the male)

I'll better leave the blanket on the tank for a while to see what will happen.....

Thanks for your time and reply.....

Greetz

Vic.

ps: sorry for my lack of english. :(


:temps are way to low if you ask me. my frilleds have access to a 110 degree hot spot...... also, where are the grass hoppers comming from ??? there is chance of pesticide contanimation from them if they are caught in the outdoors.

:Fecal as suggested would also be a good idea. I wouldnt wait a week or so, but go ahead and get one done.

:Matt
