Submit a stool sample to your veterinarian to diagnose intestinal parasites or bacterial overgrowth. Confirm proper environmental parameters, especially temperature. Low temps can affect appetite, digestion and activity in reptiles. Be sure to supplement adequately with calcium as well as other minerals and a multivitamin powder. If symptoms persist, considering an exam with your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles.
