Good news: there have been improvement today. She's still not exactly running at the chance for crickets, she's kinda struggling to notice them idk, but she's already eaten more just this morning than she did all day yesterday.
Well keep feeding her once those temps are correct and the UVB is in place you will see more of a difference in her -- I would get her some BSFL and add those to the tops of her salads they are a larvae do not dust them they are a good staple feeder for babies feed as many as you want the crickets make a good compliment to the diet -- I dont know how big she is so I cant tell you the size to get hatchlings will the small ones if shes around 3-4 months old she should be able to eat large -- anytime you get insects do not get them any bigger than the space between the eyes length wise

Reporting back: her appetite has been very good. Digital probe thermometers arrived yesterday. Revealed that my humidity was very low (21 on cool side and 16 on hot side!!!). I picked up a misting bottle to use as needed and got the humidity to 23% on the hot side, 28% on the cool side. Temps are good, currently 85 on cool side and 99 on hot side. Lights also just arrived. Box says to keep it at least 6 inches away from your reptile, current space from basking spot to top of tank is 9 inches so that's good. Now for installing it do I just put it over the top like how my current lamps are sitting?

a poem by AHBD (THANK YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE IT!)

Sir Henry the dragon
Looking for his dragon girl
Ventures out in to the wide world
His hopes are up but as you can see
There is no dragon girl for Sir Henry
A light bulb goes off and he takes mom aside
Could you perchance get me a mail order bride ?

Hey! We’re the same age! That’s cool!
Hi there a little update we went from a 50 watt heat lamp to a 100 watt basking halogen heat lamp hahaha I saw some comments about it being so close so I made sure to put it a ruler away from her
Has anyone seen this before? Something in the corner of his mouth
Luna is thriving
