update!!!!!

ok i think i got a little scared and over excited last night as today i tried to get her out of her encloser unsuccessfully cause i wasnt going to just grab her, but i did get a better look at what i thought were parasites, today it was just the way she was bending and flexing to get away from me, it made the skin over her ribs wrinkle up looking like what i saw yesterday.

anyway to some of my relief im not sure if she has parasites anymore, today once she gets up high in her cage again im going to try to get her out again so i can do a good inspection...

good news it took me about an hour this morning but i have a vet local to me that does reptiles.

Can they tell if it has skin worms or parasites from a fecal sample or does the reptile need to be examined to know for sure?

ok final update, so far so good, vet date is set and ill take the poop sample in then to...

+1 i got her out of the encloser no problem, climbed right on my hand, ate a wax worm from my hand before that, im really excited.

also i inspected her and ran my fingers lightly over what i thought was an issue its just wrinkly skin when she twists.



i thought handling her was bad, turns out its good to do every few days, and it gives you a better idea how healthy they are....

thanks to all that has helped me on my way!!!!!!!!!
