Hi everyone,
I got Malazan on 1/4/15. She is about 9 1/2 inches long. They said she was about 3 months old when we got her. I don't know how much she weighs because the scale I have doesn't go very high. We hope to get one eventually. She just doesn't seem to be eating much. When we first got her she would eat 10-15 small roaches for a while. In the last week or two it has declined quite a bit. She eats under 10 a day. Some of the days only 1 or 2. Yesterday she ate a 4. We mark how many she eats on the calendar. She only eats 1 or 2 pieces of vegetables a day if I hand feed them to her.
She poops almost daily. In the time we have owned her she probably only skipped 2 or 3 days.
When we got her she shed all of her body except for her tail.
She seems alert and active.
Could she just be a crappy eater?
Her basking spot is usually just under 110F and the temp gradiant doesn't go below 75 throughout her 4' x 2' enclosure. She basks most of the day and is out and about almost all of the time. She has a a basking light and a t5 UVB light. I have a CHE for night time so the enclosure doesn't go below 70F. I have a chilly apartment.
What could be affecting her appetite? All the posts and caresheets I read say that they eat 20-30 small roaches a day. I know the breeders fed her roaches.
