KarrieRee":3umubj76 said:Ok and its approx 6-8 inches w/ NO clear plastic cover over the bulb ------------correct? If this is all correct then it sounds like shes going thru a lazy phase -- which is good cuz shes eating too much --- she only needs insects 2 times per week once per day -- salads as much as she wants --- too many dubias can cause gout --- her poop does it have a smell so bad it makes you want to leave the room? And is it real runny?

She could be getting ready for brumation -- usually they start in the fall

And it's not uncommon for them not to eat-- it's when they aren't doing anything like basking eating pooping and no activity
Then it's time to get worried-- she would not have gout now I would not think-- she looks good-- her feet and legs would really swell up-

I would put 1-3 supers in the bowl 1 or 2 horn worms 1-2 silk worms and as many BSFL she will eat - the BSFL and silk are a staple feeder -- so if she eats them she probably wont consume as many roaches -- do not dust the BSFL they are calcium enriched-- Have you weighed her? You can weigh her on a kitchen food scale weigh in grams and make a record of her weight and length -- its good to know what shes weighing when she does go into brumation --
