Pooping...

[alcolton]

Evie is maybe around 5 to 7 months old. I'm not sure...but I got her in Sept and since then she has grown from about 4 inches to currently around 6 to 6.5 inches. She loves crickets and eats the up fast, and mealworms (not very often of course) and today she was actually interested in eating her salad of collard greens and carrots But I was wondering how often should she be going poop? For how much she eats, it seems like it should be happening more frequently. When she does go it is normal in color and size in comparing from what I have read. I'm busy in the morning, but Friday afternoon I thought I would put her in a warm bath to see if that helps. Is there anything else I should/could be doing to help her? Or is she fine. She is very active and alert and sleeps starting around 8/9pm til the morning every night. And I try to keep her on the same schedule for feeding/handling each day. Thanks for your help!

When giving a bath do u rub on the belly gently? what r the temps in the cage

During her bath today I did rub her little belly. Yesterday she did have a pretty large poop. And the temps are in her basking 103, then around 80 to 82 on one side, under her log it is around 80, and at night with her red light it gets down to about 75. So the temps make a difference on when she is going? Today she went crazy for her collard greens and wasn't really interested as much in her crickets (which makes me so happy!) I know it is hard to get the little ones to eat their salads all the time. I hope her fascination with her salads will help the with more regular/ on schedule movements.
