Autumn Hasn't Pooped and Doesn't Want to Bask... How Worried Should I Be?

[strivingspark]

It's only been about a day without poop. I told myself I wouldn't get worried until tomorrow. But I had to physically pick her up and put her in her basking spot, today. (Twice, before she got the message.) She's eating normally? But she keeps trying to hide over basking... I worry it's because she'd rather hide from me than digest properly, tbh...

Just for a few days, try not taking her out of her enclosure and see if she will go back to exploribg her enclosure abd basking without hiding. You may have to go a lot slower with her for a while. Its just fine to put her on basking spot if you need to..I had to do that with Kai from time to time when he was younger and shyer.

It seems she was maybe just being moody and I was overworrying.... She's out and about all normally now... I do wanna try limiting myself a bit, though. I'm not taking her out again until bedtime, and even then only if she's willing to sleep out in the open again....
