The symptoms described are cause for concern. Ideally, Stubby should be physically examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles. It is possible he has a respiratory infection, injury or parasites. Clean and sanitize his enclosure, bowls, perches, etc. Discard anything that cannot be sanitized. Maintain proper environmental parameters (especially temp and humidity) and keep him as stress free as possible.
