Hi. Im a little worried about the eating behaviour of my southern angle headed dragons.
Ive had them since october last year, around the mating season where they were very active and eating alot (4-5 large crickets daily).
As summer ended and we got into winter, they have slowed down alot and eat alot less. they'll sit in the same spot for most of the day.
my female eats mayeb once or twice a week, which im not worried about as i expected that.
my male lizard ate his last meal on 29/5/2011, about one month ago, and he is significantly less active, moreso than the female.
ive ruled out sulking, as theres nothing about the terrarium thats been altered. and theres no chance that hes eating behind my back as i remove any uneaten crickets.
other than he eating he seems to look healthy, its just that hes not interested in eating.
i know its normal for these lizards to not eat for up to a fortnight during the winter...but one month??
also its worth mentioning that i have the temp regulated so despite it being winter, its not very cold.
if anyone else has any experience with these lizards some advice would be very helpful
Thanks!.
