Her name is lexi she is almost 6 months old she is about 10 inches head to tail, her basking spot temp for hammock is about 102 and for her basking rock 105, i have a Powersun UV cuz im a fan of MVB, her cool side temp is about 83, she eats 20-30 reptical vd3 dustedeye to eye sized cricketscrickets and 3 greenbeans a day, she poops 1 time a day and on very rare occasion 2. she has a basking rock, hammmock, box hide, food dish shallow and big fir her to go around in and splash around in. I use newspaper substrate. and 60 gallon tank
Iv done alot of research and these are the things im having trouble with getting good info about.
My concerns are (most are prolly nothing):
She hates water and she never goes near her water dish (i mist her green beans to the point where they are almost soaking wet) she hates baths so i mist her every day.
Her poop is not messy per say but not solid but its got the right shape i guess?and her poop almost looks like its got a grayish layer on parts of it. there sometimes liquid in it brown liquid but im skeptic and starting to think its brown cuz it went all over the poo. her urates seem normal. and she always poops in the same spot (her basking rock thats its only use to her.)
she usually chills on her hammock or rock but lately she has been on the ground under her hammock.
her left eye some times gets droopy the eyelid that is.
she sheds a different part of her body at a differnt time for example she shed her legs straight off then a week later he tail now her head is starting and its been a wekk since the tail and she hasnt done body yet (this is her second shed since i have had her)
Iv picked off parts of shed before around the legs cuz she looks stressed when she is shedding.and i get many mixed views on this just like people get with sand
her stress marks come at random and how can i tell if shes in pain or not?
Her scales on her back legs are very random shaped and sizes almost as if they were just clumped on there since her last shed or since i picked it off which i still dont know if i should do or not. i feel terrible if its like the worst thing i could possibly do.
She doesnt chew her food well XD
shes quite the licker
brown tip on nose theres prown on her body but this is almost like wierd i cant explain.
-------------------------
My daily routine is :
I get up at 6am the light turns on at 7:30 am ish i say hello to aknowledge her, i get home at about 2:30 give her about 10-15 crickets after handeling her for about 10 minutes and then misting her. after about an hour i attempted to bather her she jumps to much and i just give her some green beans in her tank she eats them then continues to bask. about an hour later from green beans ill give her more crickets about 5pm by now then at 7:30 ill give her some more crickets. all through this her hottest basking spot is 105 then at 9 her light goes off and the night time goes on and it stays about 78 althorughout the cage. then i wake up and start over.
-------------------------
Plz do not critizise me but i would appreciate you correcting me just be nice about it. This is my first beardie and i want things to be absolutely perfect.
-------------------------
* she stays on the basking side of her cage at all times and the hide is about 5 inches away from there and she refuses to go beyond that or init inless im in the room while she is sleeping iv seen her go in the hide.
also im going to reptile expo next weekend so if theres something you think i should buy or add to her cage plz tell me and i will do something
BTW the main concerns for me are:
The poop
The picking of shed
The water scaredness
and swallowing to fist
iv read the caresheets from this site and many others and iv seen many videos.
so please enlighten me.
and please dont critisize just critique iv seen some things said that shouldnt be said to another person on this forum. so be nice
i do not have pictures i might later though
