Hello, can someone tell me if her fat pads are ok? I think she might be gravid. And she’s not too interested in her greens again. And she had trouble laying eggs a month ago due to dehydration. So, I want to make sure the fat pads are ok.

Ok, thank you very much!!! She just pooped out 2 eggs with urate. That is it so far. I will make sure to give her calcium and try to keep her hydrated.
She doesn’t have too big of an appetite today so far. Or she just is getting full from hornworms. I can’t tell. She doesn’t really want her crickets. She is digging a lot and glass surfing so far today though.

She got a bit more of an appetite later in the day. She had 6 hornworms. They were medium sized I think. She also had 7 crickets. I put vitamins and calcium with d3 on some of her meat. I couldn’t get her to eat a green today. She dug a lot today. She stopped kinda early at about 4:25 or so. She dug in the lay box but not as much as yesterday. She dug a lot in her hut. She had a tiny hornworm head in her poop again today. I don’t know why this keeps happening. Im also wondering if i should leave her alone more? I try to leave her alone. She won’t dig when im around. But I do see her to hand her food. I wonder if I should do that more spaced out. If that would encourage her to lay. Thank you!

Hello,

Well, she certainly has an appetite right now. Perhaps she wont lay many at all this time. It is going to
wear her out if she keeps laying!
Just let her dig when she wants to & just monitor her to be sure she has plenty of hydration & any foods
she might want.
Keep us posted on her.

Today. She had 10 greens with carrot in the morning and 3 crickets. She didn’t want them after the morning. I think because she got full on hornworms. She had 7 hornworms. Some with calcium. She dug a lot again today. Mainly in her hut. She did some digging in her laybox though. Her laybox has a hole in it. I think it is a good size. She can fit in it and stuff. Sometimes it gets destroyed so I have to fix it. I’m not sure, if when I fix it, it looks too open looking for her. But, I tried to fix that. I’m not sure why she likes her hut so much this time. These are her fat pads. There is also a picture of her hole but it is hard to see how big it actually is.

Hello, today she dug a lot again. She has been digging for 5 days now. She hasn’t laid yet though. She dug in Her lay box more today. The hole looks good and big now. She ate a lot of greens with carrot on it today. It could have been 20 or so. She had 9 crickets. And I gave her 4 hornworms. They were medium/large. I put vitamins and calcium on some of her meat. Mostly her crickets.

Hello, she laid her eggs today. She laid 17 more. So, in total it was 19 eggs. She ate ok after laying. She still only wanted greens if they had carrot on them. She ate a few with butternut squash though. At one point she didn’t want her greens. But, I think she got full. I think her butt/legs are sore from laying as well. It’s a little harder for her to adjust her legs on the basking. And things like that. Thank you everyone for your help!

Hello, today she had a whole hornworm in her poop. It was a smaller one. It was basically just its skin. Not it’s guts. I’m not sure why this keeps happening. Because her basking is good. Today, she gaped on it for quite sometime. Is there any other reason this keeps happening?

Hello,

How is your girl doing today?
I'm glad that she is eating well right now. Her fat pads look ok, for what she is going through
right now. Her head is going to shed which affects how her skin/scales look. Are you giving
her water through a dropper also?

I haven’t been giving water through a dropper. It never works for me. I have been giving her hydration with just the hornworms. Today I tried the dropper. And she did get some water from that. But, not very much. Today she had trouble passing poops. She was acting tired sometimes. She is a bit more perked up now though. She pooped a small poop. Then, later in the day pooped a big poop. Because of this I couldn’t really get her to eat normal today. Although she did want hornworms sometimes. So she ate 7 tiny ones. She wanted two crickets right before the second poop. But, nothing after. She didn’t want her greens. I’m hoping she will eat better tomorrow. I also hope she will poop better in the future after recovering completely from laying her eggs. I thought her fat pads looked better today too. Thank you!

These are her fat pads today. I think I need to give her less extra hydration because she had a runny poop today. I also thought her back might have looked a little more wrinkly, but i think that might be because she is all stretched from the eggs. She also ate better today. Thank you!
