I thought we were making progress, she was eating well, more active her temps were perfect, i don't know where things went wrong. I came home in the afternoon yesterday after running errands and before i went to eat lunch i wanted to feed kerwin. Every morning i left her veggies out but she would not touch them, before it was only with baby food she would lick them but she was not budging anymore so i knew when i saw the plate full of veggies it was to be expected. I noticed she was on her basking rock again and had not moved all day from there. The day before i noticed she was on her rock and when i moved her to the cool side, she just went right back to her rock after a while. I just thought maybe she loved that rock so much because she slept on it, basked on it, did everything and it worried me the rock would be too hot for her underbelly (it wasn't a heating rock but it did seem to warm up). After finding her on her rock again, i went to pick her up and noticed she wasn't moving and her eyes were halfway open, her mouth also was a tiny bit open on one side and there was poop ontop of the rock and on the floor. i panicked i started shaking her seeing if she was sleeping but i knew she wasn't. she was dead.....Is it possible she could have burned up on that rock? it is 8 inches away from the uvb lamp and even farther from the uva. i feel horrible, like i let her down. I wanted everything to be perfect for her so everything that was wrong with her cage before i changed, i bought her vitamins, pheonix worms changed her uvb light to a repti sun..... I just don't know what went wrong.
