My baby, izzy, is about 6-7 months old and she's been acting odd lately. I'm hoping it's just winter burmanation, but i'm not sure. Hoping you guys can help me out.
she hasn't shed in almost 2 months. She's tiny, but she was a runt when we got her. Shes only about 16 inches or so. Some days she doesn't leave her cave at all. She will go a few days without eating. then there are days where she goes "crazy" hyper and eats everything in sight. We started using sand (i know the whole debate on it, so lets not get into that) about 3-4 months ago, so i've been making sure she is still pooping, and she is. but it's slowed down till once every 2 days, sometimes 3 days, sometimes every day. When we walk by her she hides herself, so we haven't been picking her up like we use too, we've been letting her have her space. Sometimes i go in there and feed her a cricket or something. She use to be real friendly.
We went to Florida right after Christmas for a week, and i left her with my friend (who is a Zoologist) and she said that one day she just turned white, and then the next day she went back to green......and since we've been back, she hasn't been herself. When my friend told me that i thought she was just going to shed....but she hasn't shed.....
UPDATE: husband now tells me that she is pooping just a little bit every day instead of a lot every other day....and she is about 16 inches, and think she is more like 7-8 months old.
