Well, i wasnt planning on getting a new UVB bulb for couple months, but a few days ago, i was cleaning seigns cage and the UVB bulb went out. All i noticed was that the amount of light had changed and at first thought something was messed up with the timer, becuase i had just got done vaccuuming and i thought i may have hit something. but i came to find that the UVB bulb just burnt out. i am not sure why, ive only had it since august or so. I was planning on getting the mega ray for him, but now due to cercumstances, i had to run to foster and smith and buy another flourescent ZooMed uvb bulb. it sucks that that hapened but im still going to get a mega ray bulb in a few months as planned.
but, to get to the point. the UVB bulb was dead for about 2 days. i dont know if it was the sudden switch of amount of lighting or not getting the UVB rays, but man, Seign was a major GRUMP! He was in a "Just leave me alone!!" mood the past couple days , i just got the new bulb in there today, so im hoping that fixes it. Any time i would pick him up he would show major aggression signs and even hiss at me. He completely refused to settle down with a bath( which ALWAYS works to calm him) and there was no staying still. even in my hand and rubbing him in his favorite spot he would squirm and thrash around.
I hope it was just from the lighting change, if it wasnt, is it possible for iggys to have little mood swings? it seemed like one to me.
