Hi Everyone,
I need some advice on my girl. She was just adopted yesterday and came with her entire set up. She is already happy and well adjusted. Every time she sees me she scrambles to get out. The couple times she has persisted enough to get out, while I was giving water and checking her thermostat, she climbed up my arm and curled herself against me. Each time I let her stay until she was finished. Since she arrived she has been frantically digging and glass surfing, she was extremely active and attempting to find a way out today, then she had a watery poop, very little white. She has a very full rounded belly and it felt lumpy from what i could tell when she was out before. A few people have told me she is gravid, but her prior owner states she has not had contact with a male in 3 years. I really do not want her to become egg-bound(i think thats the term) any help would be great.
**Update**
So my girl is gravid but is not ready to lay her clutch. Since yesterday she has drastically slowed her usual activities of racing around and wanting out constantly to play. She has also been drinking from her water dish, that is something I have rarely seen, and she is gulping her water. She has a bath every 2 days and a misting every morning. I know she is not dehydrated, or at least she shouldn't be. Right now she is perched on my chest, she has snubbed her food completely today and yesterday seemed uninterested in her crickets, although she did eat them all, and seems content to stay there, but im overly paranoid about this gravid situation. She has a lay box that she does not seem to like, she scratches constantly to get out and wont dig. I followed the guide on here for my law box. Does the clingy, being thirsty and lack of movement have anything to do with her condition or is it a sign of something worse.
