    She died about 20 mins after I wrote that post. It was quick. So confusing as she was perking up and seemed to be doing better. Thanks for your kind words and thoughts. Such a great group!

    front leg weak, now back leg weak?

    Now I'm just trying to make her comfortable, keeping her nice and warm. Looks like the end is coming...... I can't see any breathing and occassionally she gives out a big gasp. So sad.......:( Thank you so very much for all the input.

    front leg weak, now back leg weak?

    :( She's getting worse. Now her eyes are getting sunken, and the area above eyes on head is now sunken. I've been giving her liquid but it seems it's mostly passing through and not being absorbed, so she's very dehydrated. I added another halogen bulb yesterday, got it up to 100. I tried to...

    Can't think of anything but supers that may cause impaction, but she's pooing regularly now. I removed the screen entirely, so all lights are unobstructed. Fl Tube is 11" away. IR bulb for night burned out first night!, Ordered 11w ceramic emiter, arrives Friday. SURFACE temp of stone basking...

    front leg weak, now back leg weak?

    Temps at night have been about 75, so I'll up that to 80. I have a IR bulb. I too thought about impaction/paralysis, but it's both left limbs, and she's got regular BM. She has not been losing weight, but she's stayed exactly the same last 2 weeks, at 78 grams. She's now 7 months old.

    front leg weak, now back leg weak?

    It's really weird, but this little girl never had any normal appetite....3-4 supers was all she'd eat. I had dubias and crickets, she would watch them, but not really chase them. I even put her in a smaller empty tank with just the dubias...and she didn't go after them at all. Same with...

    The Megaray 75w is 11" from basking area. I cut the screen out in front of it, so there's a 5"x5" opening. I ordered a Exo Terra Solar Glo 125w MVB today, which will be tad closer. Also installed a new Exo Terra ReptiGlo 10.0 fluorescent tube UVB. I'll move the Megaray 75 to my other dragon's...

    front leg weak, now back leg weak?

    Thank you so much! Yes, Megaray 70w MVB Using Digital thermometers, and an instant read gun I usually use an ExoTerra Repti-glo 10.0 fluorescent tube on all my vivs, is that a good bulb? I do have one ZooMed fl tube in one viv. I could cut the screen out where the Megaray is, think that would...
