Probally a worried parent here but hey here it goes.

I've noticed that my royal Loki sometimes sits with his head perched on something (usually his water dish)at a 45 deg angle to the sky. Obviously I am worried as it can be a symptom of an RI, but before I panic does any one else's royals do this?

He seems fine otherwise no clicking/bad breathing, passing poop and urine ok, eating like a dustbin, happy to be out and about. But he recently did have a bad shed which I had to help him with.

Oh hes in a rub Hot end (32 Deg) and ambiant air temp (26 Deg), air humidity is 50ish (measured about an inch from the lid)

He spends most of his time in his warm hide, but usually has an evening wander around his rub.

or I am probs worrying about nothing

Cheers Andy, yeah inhimself hes fine and now eating like a dustbin (beefing up, getting longer) and what goes in is certainly coming out lol. He had a terrible shed last week, which I had to assist him with but other than that he seems fine.

Must be me being a worried parent.

probably...things to look out for is open mouth/noisy breathing, weight loss, no appetite, and phlegm in the mouth.
