    And I’m very grateful for all the info and help. I didn’t mean to sound surly. As I mentioned before, I doubt my wife had any clue just how complicated these creatures are, and I certainly had no past history with reptiles where I could offer opinions/counsel. She could’ve picked stamp...

    As I have discovered, most things designed to clear things up only lead to more questions and confusion. Yes, she has apparently regained her ability/desire to hunt and eat live feeders and we have discontinued the Oxbow supplement. Our call, not the vet’s. We will remove the UVA bulb from the...

    So I'm on the same page, how would you recommend we feed her? Discontinue the Oxbow supplement and go back to crickets/Superworms exclusively? And how often per day at what number of feeders? Regarding lights, you're saying that we need only the UVB and incandescent basking lights? No UVA? Sorry...

    Our vet recommended the heat lamp and said that a standard incandescent was ok. It’s at the bottom of the enclosure because both UVA and UVB bulbs are at the top now and we don’t currently have a third fixture specifically dedicated to the basking light. To be honest, we are a bit confused as to...

    I’m not sure about the over-feeding thing. Prior to becoming gravid she was eating 10-15 crickets and 1-2 Superworms per day. Then, on the same day we moved her into her current enclosure, her appetite caved. Vet had us force-feeding her with Oxbow supplement and strained vegies/calcium, which...

    Not sure if they are round or oval judging from the x-ray. Maybe you can tell better than I.

    We had a bit of a turnaround in the last 24 hours. She’s all of a sudden regained her appetite for live food. I think one thing that made a difference was bringing her dusted crickets right up to her eye level in the dusting container rather than letting the crickets crawl up the sides of the...

    Will try and get some shots after awhile. Trying to give her her peace and quiet right now.

    Our girl is about 6 months old and is bearing eggs (verified by X-Ray). Lost her appetite almost a month ago, and we are having to force feed her using Oxbow Carnivore Care/strained peas/calcium mixture. She used to eat 12-15 crickets per day plus one or two Superworms. We have her in a 48x24x24...
