  • Feeding - Superworms, Dubia. She might eat 3-4 things a day. Gut loaded on repashy burger, sometimes romaine and cucumbers.
  • Supplements - herpavite multi Everytime, calcium +d3 every other week. Sometimes a little vitamin A oil on the bugs when her eye condition flares up
  • Watering - Mister spray 3 times a day, rain bag that drips down for an hour every day. I see her drink.
  • Fecal Description - poop was normal until today, which was almost all clear liquid.
  • History - he has an eye issue that flares up every so often and has seen a vet for it. A couple days of vitamin a on the bugs clears it up.

Cage Info:
  • Cage Type - screen cage, 2x2x4
  • Lighting - she's currently outside, so natural sun in the early part of the day, maybe 5 hours before the shade covers her.
  • Temperature - basking in the morning is probably about 85-90 ambient in the shade is probably 80-85. It did get pretty hot the last few days, but neither Cham showed any signed of distress. There were pretty good breezes going to circulate the air.
  • Humidity - MO humidity, which is pretty high right now, 60-85%, plus misting.
  • Plants - decent sized live shefflerra and vines, branches, laying bin.
  • Placement - on the deck outside.
  • Location - just outside of St. Louis MO

Current Problem - She was mated on the 11th of June. I strongly suspect that she is gravid. She's been fine, active, although eating a little less since the breeding. Didn't eat anything yesterday. I offered her a dish of bugs, she seemed excited about it, then turned away. I saw her climbing all over and drinking yesterday. Today she is dehydrated. I made her eat some repta-boost, then she threw it up. Then she pooped a gooey clear liquid with a little stringy-poor-forme urates. Her color is still good, but her head and eyes are sunk.
Vet is closed today, I need to keep her stable until tomorrow. Pedialyte ok? A drop an hour? Anything else to try? I'm not going to bring her to a non reptile vet.
