Today when I came home from work I noticed my indo looks a slight bit larger in the belly than usual. This is the first and only time I've seen this. It almost seems sometimes that he breathes a little funnier too? Like a slight difference in how it sounds,but does not continuously happen. Just every now and then. He is being his normal self otherwise. I am just being extra cautious about it as he's pretty much my baby, and anything different from the norm bothers me. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas??
He is in aspen substrate, and for some reason burrows on his cold side underneath his water bowl mostly all the time.
Suggestions??

Re: Suggestions??
I wouldn't worry about it. If he is alert and acting normal then it is probably nothing. They can breathe "oddly" or look a bit labored and it is normal. Slight bit larger in the belly could be poop. 
As long as he is alert and acting normal don't worry. It is normal to hide lots as well, especially when in a new home.

Thank you 
I'll continue to monitor his process. He had only eaten a little, but I suppose you're right! Haha especially if he hadn't run around at all!
