Sick Newt

[chend]

I have a fire belly that I have had for about 18 years, never any issues till the other day,. he rarely eats and is lethargic. For the most part he just sits on his rock. I did notice him shedding but that has not been a problem in the past. Just old age??

In all honesty it sounds like a case of good ol' old age! I mean they live up to 10-15 years but can get passed that! My friend had one that was 17 and only died a few years ago doing the exactly the same thing, just slowing down etc
