EDIT: Looking back at my old post I noticed it looks like he's lost some weight as well??
EDIT: I realized that's probably because of brumation

Just enjoy it as a pet. They are great friendly lizards. I have used them for more than a decade in classroom presentations.
There are many more folks here with more experience than me.

Also agree with craigb with it being a hybrid (didn't see this post until after the other!).
Hmm, the weight - how much have they lost? Just with reference to the other post, if it's the jaw causing issues then that doesn't sound good.. It's weird, as with brumation - Northerns do definitely have a brumation period; but the majority of Indonesians are known to either slow down a little, or may not even go into brumation. But if we're right suspecting a hybrid, then can't say for sure which way that will happen.
