thank you for responding so quickly!
Yes, the vet I took him to was a reptile vet. As far as heat goes his basking area is around 92 degrees, so the temperature isn't the problem. It hasn't been a sudden change or anything. I've had him for exactly one month so maybe he is still adjusting?? He is "pooping" on a regular basis(once a day). I should probably explain his eating habits a bit more in detail. I think he has a problem with going down to his food dish. He usually only has a bite or two and then goes back up to his basking shelf. But! If I put a pile of greens, for example, on his shelf with him he will eat every bit of it almost immediately. Naturally, I can't keep that up, or can I?? Right now I can't really afford any blood tests for kidney function. Hopefully it's nothing like that...any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
