Which species? Have you had a chance to breed yours? What do you feed? Mine has refused food for a while now, I'm wondering whether they might be lizard or snail eaters in the wild. Either that or she's in the middle of a brumation thing. She's only had the occasional force fed cricket but she's maintained a steady weight over the last few weeks. She seems extremely alert and drinks normally but I can't get her to show interest in food yet.
It is polychrus peruvianus....I had the pair for a number of years but now I only have the male left.
I was told when I got it that it was an insectivore...but I found out that it ate as much fruit and veggies as it did insects....and it wasn't until I fed them both that they started to reproduce. I also did some raining on them.
I had eggs three times...the first time the male ate them before I could get them out of the cage. The second time, I made sure that he couldn't get at them but I had to guess at the incubation temperature and humidity and the eggs (fertile...I candled them) failed. The third time the eggs failed, but that's the year the female died so I can only assume that she was getting old. They only produced one clutch a year...but I can't remember what month it was.
I don't know if your species would be omnivorous or not...but it doesn't hurt to try IMHO.

as I said in the previous post...I kept peruvianus for over 11 years. A friend of mine took over for me in November because I've been in hospital and such since then.
I did start out with a pair but lost the female several years ago. I did get them to produce eggs but never hatched them...not sure if the female was too old or not or what the problem was.
They are omnivores....ate insects and quite a wide assortment of greens and veggies and fruit....didn't lay eggs until I figured this out and rained on them too.
