Beans hasn’t been her usual self lately. I replaced her 3ft tank with a 4ft one about a week or so before Christmas, and filled it with her usual decor and layout so it would still be familiar to her. She was laying around a lot and generally being grumpy which I originally put down to changing her tank.
She stayed pretty much the same over Christmas, just laying in one spot all day, always on the cool end, minimal moving, sleeping a lot. Her lights turn off at 9:30pm and she usually gets sleepy about an hour before, but she started settling down for bed really early- eventually, she’d only wake up for an hour or two in the morning and then doze on and off all day, always on the cool side of her tank.
Her appetite has decreased from about 25 ish bugs in one sitting to about 8. Tonight she ate 13 which is better, but she’s still just laying around. She’s active when I put her in the bath and drinks a fair bit, and she’ll explore my bedroom when she comes out, but she doesn’t really seem interested in coming out lately, and when she’s in her tank she doesn’t do anything. She’ll be in the exact same position in the afternoon when I come home as she was in the morning when I left.
Her beard is mostly orange with just some black around the edges. She also finished a course of anti parasite medication about two months ago, because she had eggs in her poop. She has a hide in her tank already but I put another one in there for her just now in case she’s too big for her old one, and she went straight in there away from the lights, so I think maybe she’s brumating? What do I do for her if this is the case, lights and food wise?
She’s in a 4ft viv with a Reptisun UV bulb, I think it’s 12% but I don’t have the original box anymore. The temp on the hot side of her viv is 103, and the cool side is 78. Night time temperatures go down no lower than 73. She eats mostly Morio worms, and then the veg I give her is kale, mange tout (her favourite), broccoli, raspberries, tomatoes (which she doesn’t like), blueberries, and Bell peppers. I’ve attached a photograph of her tonight, just to get your opinions.
It’s also been a week or two since she’s pooped, but the last time she did, she perked up immediately afterwards and was a bit more active in her tank. For about a week or so, I’ve noticed her rubbing her nose along the floor.
