[QUOTE="mactac, post: 2015633, member: 117478"] I use the probe, but I also use the temp gun because her little plastic log varies a lot in temperature and can get way up there sometimes since it's plastic. I've seen it up at 130 degrees or so. So I keep the temp gun for spot checking. I do understand that it's really tough to get a good reading from the hammock. We have tried silk worms. (actually neither of our beardies care for silk worms!). I can move the UV into inside her enclosure, however the heat will then not be enough because we will need to lower her basking spot quite drastically. Any advice on that? The heat fixture is too big to put in her enclosure. If we trick her into eating a worm or BSFL, she actually does enjoy it. It's just that she won't actively try to take it - it's really strange. If she bites a superworm and (gross warning....) then I rub the open/bit side of the work against her lips, she will lick it. She has just completely lost her hunting/eating reflex. And like I said, I'm worried that the longer this goes on, the harder it's going to be to solve. The one thing that I've been wondering about is if she is ill with something else and not really exhibiting symptoms that we've taken notice of. If she is sick, she might not be eating for that reason. Unfortunately, the vet here does not have any ideas. We had to specifically request a fecal test, which seemed rather obvious to do. Thanks!
