Hello all,
I have re-adopted an 8 year old female, only have her two weeks yet, but she's a tough one, her name is Debbie.
So first week she was all lazy and sleepy, ate every second day, gave her bath every 2days (she's fairly wrinkly), changed UVB light - became more active, climbs her log again, face is more orange and yellow now.
So the problem is: we are living with an open viv policy for the last 2days, because she refuses to stay inside - constantly bangs her nose in the window, scratches - window surfs... As you see from the picture - it's open on the cool end, so she gets out - runs around the room and kitchen like a champ, climbs little shelves, rests on the hot water bottle I left to her (it's around 70-75F in the room), then half an hour later goes back to the viv, basks, sits right under UVB for 20min and out the door again running...
Sounds nice and normal, but she hasn't eaten for last 3 days, and poops daily (bit of water, white edge, black poop), so where is it all coming from? Detox or something?
Tank is about 45 gallon, brand new repti glo 10, 100W ceramic heat, water +salad bowl always there, we put tile and artificial grass last week (previous owner had sand). Calcium was given every time she ate, I use reptisafe for water and baths. 100F hot, 75-80F cold side. Tried roaches, locusts, morio worms, squash, pak choy, rocket, cilantro, bell pepper, blueberries.
Just want to make sure she is alright, because this not eating business is driving me mad.. She's my first dragon, deep in love already!
