Yeah that looks like gaping and shes doing this only under the heat bulb ?

Yes, just under the bulb but she hasn’t done it since i changed to 100W and i elevated her on a basking ramp

These posts are tough for me to read so I have to be honest... I didn't read all of it. I do want to thank you for your care and dedication to saving this beardie! You've also come to the right place for support- best of luck.

Thank you!

Ok so start feeding more greens like turnip kale or collard greens - squash like zucchini or yellow or butternut-- I would dust only the insects - please feed sparingly the wax worms they are very fatty- you can add in some horn worms they are a good hydrating worm -- you can make a slurry of greens for her and add water she will hydration from that as well.

I tried getting some hornworms but they are sold out where im at. I will definitely give the greens slurry blend a try

Thank you

You are better ordering all your insects and worms on line - pet stores are too expensive I can post websites for you if you like

The only reason i brought up ADV was the head being up, if she can put it down then she is probably not a carrier. One symptom of AVD is the head permanently stuck up. That being said the test is not expensive and a good idea just so you know for sure.
