Just had a scary moment with Austin and I'm worried he might be dying.
Some of u might remember a few weeks back he had a problem with a bit of food/substrate stuck in his mouth, since then the swelling has gone down but is still there and he has had it rechecked out twice last time was Thursday and was told he was fine just needed time for swelling to go down. We have left him alone since then but the last few days he has been a lot more active so we took him out tonight to check it out and he just went limp while my wife had him, I jokingly said have u killed him? And she said I think so and passed me him, he was dead as far as I could and just flopped when I picked him up off her leg, he was like this for about a minute and then his tail moved and then the rest of him.
Obviously I was relieved but now very worried, any idea what could of happened? |

| I think it might be something serious, had him under a lap in a unused viv for a bit to warm up he seemed alert again so went to put him back in his and he freaked out throwing his head from side to side then went limp again, again seemed dead then came back but something def wrong. |

| Just checked on him and he's gone already, absolutely devasted I genuinely thought we'd gotten over the worst of his problems and have been so happy the last few days watching him out and about around his viv. |
