Thanks!! He's about 7-7.5 inches. I don't have a digital scale but he is HEAVY!!!

Last night I went down to turn off lights and feed the Horned frogs. I noticed my pyxie was in the same spot/position as a few hours before in his water. His eyes were closed. I opened the glass and bumped him...no reaction...I flipped out thinking he was dead. I scooped him up and he started moving and I put him on the land area. I tried to feed him and he wouldn't take (he has NEVER turned down a meal). I let him sit for a couple minutes and tried again. He ate. What was going on here? Was he sleeping in the water? It scared the **** outta me.

What's the water temp? Sometimes if the get to cool the become very lethargic and won't move much. They will sometimes sleep in their water. I'm not sure how lazy your big guy is, but once they become really lazy they will sleep in their water sometimes.

Water temp stays at a constant 78-80. My herp room is temp controlled and stays at 80-82. His water stays just a little cooler. I check it with a temp gun daily because the filter heats up when it gets restricted. I

Hmmm slightly odd behavior then. I would keep a close eye on him for a few days. I have a Pacman that will sleep in his water dish, but he's pretty lazy. I would assume that your Pyxi may do the same since most of the time they stay in their water source. I would not doubtbthat he would sleep in the dish as well since they have to sleep some time and that is mostly during the day even though Pyxis can be diurnal.
