That does not make sense.

Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry. I'm sure it was nothing that you did; a lot of hatchlings come to their owners already ill, and it was likely from poor conditions before you got him.

Focus on Crick now. You want to make sure that he doesn't start to have similar signs. You also probably want to do a complete tank cleaning to kill any of the leftover whatever that might have infected Watson.
