Hi there I have a dilemma.
I own a 4 year old children's python (who has one eye and is pretty much retarded I believe) and a 6 year old Pygmy Beardy. Both animals have shut down. The python won't eat ( I have tried mice, rats, quail, braining and scenting). Temps are 32degrees on the warm side and mid 20s on the cool side. He has no basking lamp or other lighting just a heat mat connected to a thermostat. He usually eats 1 adult mouse every 3-4 weeks (he is just not interested) but for the past couple of months he has had nothing. Previous to summer (in which has probably only eaten 5 times he wouldn't eat for a good 4 months).
My dragon has been sleeping for the past 5 weeks. Her temps are perfect 40-45 under the basking lamp and mid 20s on the cool side. She has brand new 10.0 uvb. Even when I put her under the basking lamp she will crawl back to her hide and sleep.
Just wondering if people are experiencing the same thing and if anyone can offer me any advice. I care for them greatly and I am a little concerned.
Cheers
