I picked up this little gal Sunday at the Mississauga reptile expo. She's about 5.5" at 4 months and looks healthy.
When I brought her home and put her in her new home she basked near the top of the log.
I have a new litterbox that was never used so I washed it up and put her in it to feed. She ate about 12 crickets I let loose a couple at a time. At supper she ate 6 more. Then she went up onto the leaves and basked till I shut the lights off. She slept there all night and had to help onto my hand this morning. She wouldn't eat anymore crickets outside the cage. So she sat on a rock and took 6 by tweezers, then headed back up onto the fake jungle plant about 3" from the basking light.
Ilithyia
Her favorite spot
I've tried feeding her veggies with the tweezers but she shows no interest. I've put a few drops of water on her mouth area and she licks abit of it up.
Still getting use to her new home. She doesn't run from me but you can tell she's alittle nervous.
