Hello Vicky,
She is a little cutie for sure, a bit small. Everyone has given great advice. I would really
consider getting a T5 Reptisun 10 or an Arcadia D3 12% or 14% T5. Both of these are the
higher UVB output & terrific tube bulbs. The prices have come down some but they are
pretty affordable now.
I highly recommend getting her on a liquid calcium also right now because she can absorb
that much better & faster. Since she has had trouble going to the bathroom, giving some
extra fluids will help too. When they are low in calcium, their smooth muscles become
weak which affects the motility of the GI tract, etc & they have trouble going to the bathroom.
She can pull through this but she will need the UVB lighting, better & more frequent calcium
& supplementation, as well as optimal temperatures for basking.
Let us know how she is doing. Did you find a vet to take her to?
Tracie
