My Marmoratus has been "sick" for some time, he was showing little activity and his skin was dry, eyes shut most of the time.
Now he is doing better, eating again, so everything is looking good again. There is one thing though that worries me: When I pick him up for inspection, his body stiffens, he opens his mouths and keeps his hind legs close to his body. This state lasts about 30 seconds to 1 minute, then he relaxes again. It sounds like some sort of Unken-reflex, but I'm pretty sure this is not the case.
Anyone seen this behaviour? I could make a movie of it if it's needed.
