Help PLEASE Here's the brief run down: Basking temp 100-103*, cool side 85*. Humidity 30-38% Lights off at about 8pm, on about 7am. She has one feeding of crickets in the afternoon and used to eat about 25-35 crickets. NOW, she's barely eating 10-15 crickets. She has a full supply of mustard greens throughout the day, but doesn't usually eat them. She is bathed daily for about 15-25 minutes and poops every other day, if not every day. She has the good kind 10.0 UVB light. She's about 7-8 months old. Here's a pic of her set up:
The far left light is her basking light, middle is the CHE light that comes on at night and far right is just a standard light bulb. In this picture, I just put her in there after the bath so she's not hiding. But usually she is ALWAYS hiding under her log. I don't usually see her sleeping under there though, just laying there. This has been going on for probably... 1 month.
Over the past week, she's started to eat less and less. Is this common for brumating? What about her not actually sleeping during the day, just laying there? The other change has been her poop. Is used to be smoother and would go down the drain during a bath, but now it's harder and my husband says he has to drain the sink and pick the poop up and flush it down the toilet. She is given calcium one dusting 3x/week and vitamins 2x/week.
Here's the other problem: we are leaving tomorrow morning and won't return until Monday night. Should I turn off one of the lights? Will she be okay not eating for that long if she's not really eating to begin with? Is she just brumating
PLEASE help, I am SO desperate. We've been battling this for what seems like forever and I'm SO worried we'll come back and find her not alive I almost don't even want to go!
