[QUOTE="DorgEndo, post: 2044009, member: 103228"] In Devlyn news we had her vet appointment yesterday. Devlyn had been weighing around 410 grams and the vet had expressed she may overly nourished. This was the past 2 years I brought her in so over the past 6 months or so (she brumated during that time) I gave her less sugary and lower fat options Such as more dubia roaches compared to superworm. Less bell peppers. She never ate that much fruit like blueberry or banana so she still got those on the same rate Yesterday I had her visit, vet said she was 384 grams on her scale...and she didn't like Devlyn at less weight! This was about 6% weight loss from her normal and the vet said take her back to 400-410 range Much to Devlyn's joy she get a pinky mouse for the protein bulk (she gets 1 or 2 a year and she loves them). More bell peppers as her favorite vegetable. More bee pollen since it has good protein value Specifically the vet said Devlyn's limbs had less muscle mass to her eye. Devlyn is only 16 inches long so her pancake body does make her look very wide and fat. She's just a little stunted, probably, we can't know for sure since she was so sick when I took her in Devlyn is gonna be happy to get Some big meals the next few weeks. I figure one bigger meal a week would be a good pace to bulk up Here are some bonus pics. I took Devlyn on Monday to see the total eclipse of the sun! 🌑☀️ [ATTACH type="full" alt="1000004322.jpg"]88660[/ATTACH] We went down to Missouri, which was our 1st choice plan and we confirmed it in the days before since MO would have mostly sunny skies. We had no clouds at our spot [ATTACH type="full" alt="1000004319.jpg"]88661[/ATTACH] I took video! Devlyn had some normal but interesting choices of behavior. When the eclipse started she 💩. Then she did the beardie commando crawl - not her normal walk - to pick at some leaves on the ground. I would prefer her not eating but we did pick a park that says they don't use pesticides or herbicides [ATTACH type="full" alt="1000004325.jpg"]88662[/ATTACH] My husband got his phone to focus on the totality - pretty good for a phone pic When the eclipse happened the temperature immediately dropped by 15°F. I'm glad I brought the beardie thermometer! Devlyn changed her color to nearly patternless pale tan. The grassy sandy area we were at was a smooth sand color. She also stopped moving completely - birds including a hawk started flying from the trees around the clear area we were at. Devlyn is smart at being a beardie. She knew to blend in and don't move. I picked her up anyway since birds are scary and just in case that hawk had too much bravado to fly between my husband and I to get her [ATTACH type="full" alt="1000004304.jpg"]88663[/ATTACH] We picked the right spot to be, that's one of Devlyn's logs and she is on it near the ladder It was worth it. Devlyn has always seemed to enjoy car rides. The drive home did go after dark so she tried to sleep. I don't think she liked that part of the trip She is also very in shed in spots everywhere so her colors aren't quite her normal I always regretted not travelling to the totality in 2017. I saw the eclipse from my home state, but oh, the totality was worth the 11 hour drive there and back. And I have one complaint. Missouri roads suck! It took 6 hours to drive through Minnesota and Iowa, then 5 hours just to reach southeast Missouri. I can travel through 2 states in about the time it took to traverse the whole of just 1 state It'll take me some time. Maybe by the weekend if I'm very productive to go through the GoPro footage [ATTACH type="full" alt="1000004294.jpg"]88664[/ATTACH] We got a hotel for Sunday night. She slept in her carrier. I didn't take a different angle but the other side zips open so there is enough space where she could turn around easily. She has some cork and a soft towel, she choose the cork to sleep on. Devlyn loves cork beds [/QUOTE]
