I apologize if I am bombarding the forum with my threads! I want to ask about some odd behaviour I saw Azure do today.
I changed out her enclosure and cleaned it thoroughly yesterday, and put in all new substrate and slightly altered the decor (but still the same stuff). I put her back in yesterday and she went into hiding. She had her head poking out and watching this morning when I went to give her her food as I normally do.
Usually, when I wake up in the morning she is sitting under her lamp, ready for food, and stares at my hands and licks her lips when I come in. This morning, however, she was still hiding. She wouldn't come out to eat, so I tried hand feeding her a bit, but she refused after a short time. I thought, "Okay, no big deal. She can miss one day," (I feed every day).
But in the middle of the afternoon she crawled up on the highest point of her hides and stared at the top of the vive. I came to check her out and chat at her, and she started rubbing her face vigorously against the glass. I took her out for a minute to see if something was stuck or bothering her but nothing I could see... and she still flickered her tongue as usual.
When I put her back she kept staring up at me, then at my hand, so I thought she was hungry. I brought her a make-shift meal (as her next feeding's food wasn't yet thawed for tomorrow) that she barely touched. So I don't know what any of that means. She did the glass rubbing thing again for a bit, before I started petting her and she eventually stopped and went to basking under her lamp.
What do you think that meant? I know it's probably nothing, and maybe they do silly things for no reason... was she hungry and wanted her normal meal? Did she want out of her vive? Was she MAD at me -- far-fetched, but I'd believe it after her display
I'm just concerned because I don't want it turning into an issue, especially if it's something I've done and can prevent. Sorry for the long post. Thank you!
