Sorry to be such a newbie and ask loads of questions but I wanna make sure I get this right.

When I got up this morning I noticed Lucius was more placid than usual because last night he slithering around all over the place. He's just sitting around not moving at all. He didn't even move when I changed his water this morning (he usually slithers away from me with him being new) - is this a sign that he's ill or unhappy? Or does it just mean that he's becoming more settled in his new home?

Thanks guys - and sorry again for being a tad dense/overprotective.

he's probably just resting- my male zooms around his viv for hours, then just lays with his head resting on his hide, watching the world go by. nothing to be worried about in my opinion.

Thanks :)

I think the reason I was a tad worried is because I've fallen ill with a cold/flu over the past couple of days and I was worried I may have passed something on :S

Was he in the cool end?snankes alot slower when their cool,plus he's probably getting used to you entering the viv and realises your not a threat.

Corns are classed as crepuscular as far as I know (active at dusk and dawn).

I called the centre I bought him from in the end. Turns out he was too hot cus too much of his viv was covered by the heat mat. So I sorted that out and he cooled himself down :) - It's all good :)

Thanks for the advice.
