Default Hello

Hello, I don't know what could be wrong but I'll take a swing at it. It could be that it hasn't been payed any atention and it wants to hybernate? lol I dunno Mine does the same thing but I think it's because I feed it too much.

hmm, i dont see how 1) this would make something hibernate, and 2) how a beardie can hibernate? hmm to the OP, i think dean thorpes questions were important, so the answers to them will be important.
