No poops.?

[acidburn01]

Nova is about 6 months ans ALWAYS poops every day. Every. Single. Day. Like, small cat-sized poops. But she didn't poop at all today, nothing, not even urate.

Is this normal.? Or is she maybe impacted a bit.? I know as they get older, they go longer without pooping but I wasn't sure what point that started and if it was such a sudden jump from so much a day to nothing the next day.

Also, happy day after x-mas.!

yes they tend to start slowing down on the poops - as they get older- impaction is caused by eating loose substrate - too big of insects or too many treat worms like super or meal worms -- she probably pooped it all out w/ the really big poop

Well, it's 1pm and she still hasn't gone since the day before yesterday. She didn't go at all yesterday. And she's sort of basking.? She'll sit right on the edge of the light and be just sorta room temp or She'll sit away from the light for awhile but we can't tell if it's because she doesn't feel good or something is scaring her and she's trying to hide.

Just leave her be -- as long as the surface basking temps are good and the UVB is good she will go- what is the temp where shes sitting on the edge of the light? And does she do this all the time?

Well, we have a 100watt powersun and a 75watt flukers basking. And for some reason, it doesn't get above like 99, at most. But if wr put in a 100watt, it gets way too hot. So the edge of her light sits at about 94ish, she feels at room temp, mauve a little cooler on the edge.

She gets super cool, not quite cold, really quickly. Like within minutes, she isn't warm anymore.

try taking the powersun out and put the 100 watt w/ the 75 watt as well and see what temps you get then
