Gaping

[TrinityGibbe]

Thanks! I just ordered assorted insects! And I will definitely up her feeding

It was so funny to watch her chase her last cricket she moved her sleeping bag and everything for that thing! Poor girl was starving

ok let me know how it goes and if the gaping stops at night like she was doing -- its hard to say what that was about

I agree, more insects but make sure they are not too large. She may have been gaping because of the large cricket she ate, her beard area was bulging out too so be real careful. Good to hear that she has a hearty appetite though !

What does the bulge mean? That is what was concerning me

 

[AHBD]

The food was stuck in that area before moving down her throat.

Is the bulge still there?

It was gone this afternoon when I checked on her at 12 I will check again when I get home at 6. Since I fed her at 12

The bulge is gone! I fed her about 10 more Dubai’s and 1 horn worm this evening she is currently in her last 30 minutes of basking before lights out. She is a happy camper and full she left behind one Dubai and a little of her salad. She left me a nice present on my return home this evening.
