HELP! i dont know whats wrong with my tokay but during the last few days, it's been staying on its enclosure floor. it is feeding normally (like voraciously) as usual but it doesnt cling on the walls of its enclosure anymore.
is it because the glasses are grimy? TIA.

It could be because the animal is getting ready to shed. The old skin is coming off the feat so it cant "cling". Just watch if for a few days it will probably shed and go back to climbing. But keep a eye on it just in case there is actually a problem.

ok thanks. it's been with me for two months and have not actually seen it shed.

and, is it also possible cos she's overweight? just wondering.

I really dont think it would be because she is overweight. Do you have any pictures of her? I would like to see a overweight tokay. Skinny ones are all to common but you never see one that is over weight.

In those pics she dosnt even look close to being over weight.

[squamata]

yeah i know. now she's kinda fat.

[cliff_f]

Are you sure its just not a big male. Males get pretty big around compared to females.

[squamata]

she doesnt have dark pores and no bulges.
