thank you all for the advise! I currently have her on 2 crickets a day to start, and will move her to 3 every other day. She seems to be doing ok, but I can tell she’s mad at me since she doesn’t want to come out of her enclosure when I open the door.
I’ve noticed since she laid her eggs...
Ok. So what should I do as a feeding schedule? Do I feed her every other day? Right now she’s doing 3-4 crickets once a day. I’ll have to check her basking temp again.
She did it!!! Didn’t want to touch it yet since it’s fairly new and my daughter has a game so I didnt have time to go through it. But I’m so happy!!! And she so skinny and flabby
It was midnight and she was still digging. She slept in her bin last night and was digging as soon as lights came on. My husband misted her like normal prior to lights but I didn’t want to feed her since I didn’t want to disturb her. So I’m really hoping she’s close to laying
And I appreciate all of you guys! This is so stressful.
I changed her laying bin with something a few inches bigger. I was worried that she wouldn’t touch it but she ended up going down. Her lights went out and she’s still digging so I’m assuming she may fall asleep in it while digging. She...
Understandable and I definitely learned that during this whole process. I’m just trying to figure out when I should really be concern and how long does the whole process take. As mentioned before by MissSkittles, certain signs are indicators of her being egg bound, but she’s still acting...
Substrate is a soil I purchased from the exotic pet store (can’t remember the name) mixed with play sand. No, she can’t see anyone. She has a blanket covering the bottom half of her enclosure.
On the 17th she did it for a little bit and stopped. Didn’t dig at all from the 17th until Friday. Friday she was in her laying bin before I can even feed her. She stayed in there for a couple hours and came up to her basking spot. She ate and went back and dug some more but comes back up. I...
Hey! How long is the laying process? My girl started digging on the 17th and stopped for a little bit. She started digging again on Friday and has been digging all weekend but still hasn’t laid any eggs. Do you think she’s having difficulties or just not ready? I’m not sure how long this how...
What can I do if she’s only digging in the corner of her laying bin? It’s like she’s trying to dig thru the side of the bin and not going anywhere. Would she eventually move to a different spot on her own?
She started digging this morning. Gave her some food, placed a blanket around the bottom half. Walked thru the living room to grab some water from the kitchen and didn’t see her. Found her down in her bin digging
It’s funny you mention Dr. Bogoslavsky, he commented on my post on fb and mentioned she may have hypocalcemic tetany. And researching that, it seems like it’s MBD or similar to it. And I’m scratching my head wondering how and why, causing me to think I’m doing everything wrong and she’s not...
Woke up this morning and she’s actually basking with both feet and hands gripping a vine and not shaking. I was extremely worried with the shaking and not gripping all the way, thought maybe she would get hurt or not do well during the night.
Since I am working from home today, I’ll put her...
Yes, that is her sleeping during lights out. She is in the living room with high traffic but once lights are out, everyone settles down and lights are completely out in that room and any room that shines into the living room. The only touch of light that may come into the living room is a porch...
