hey mike,
keeping busy as online rhac vet i see. well take it as a compliment, I think you are at the top of your game here. I have a few questions you might help me field. First is I had two hatchlings last summer and one had a hind foot deformity (not sure why) but the other was big and healthy. well a couple months after their hatch the non-deformed one just died one night for no apparant reason, while the other has continued on to this day. So the day after the death I brought the deformed crestie and the other hatchlings to the university here and kept them in a temp. stable, humidity stable room for a couple months to work out some theories about the death. They all were happy and my adults at home were continuing to grow etc. so I moved the babies home.

Now they aren't eating or really moving much, and its a little freaky, i'm used to these cresteds pouncing on bugs and ripping around.

any help you can give me would be great!

thanks

jay
