[QUOTE="NatashaG, post: 119139, member: 5331"] He is definitely a confirmed male, but he has not reached maturity. He is still a juvenile, but I'm unsure at what size they are considered sub-adult. He is roughly 4 inches, has a healthy looking butt and seems as active as he ever has been. Could it be due to a drop in the weather? It's been a little colder here recently, but I'm unsure if that would make a difference. I do use a heat pad, but only ever on the side of his tank and only ever for an hour if I think it is too cold for myself. I do this as I have no central heating in my home. I know that they moult less as they get older, and he has moulted 3 times with me in the year and half I've had him. That's why I am pretty certain he isn't in pre-moult, as his usual pattern of this has been around every 6 months, perhaps a few weeks longer every time. Thank you :) and thanks for the reply!
