Here she is everyone :)
She was no bother at all. So docile :)
She was hatched July 2013. She's a lovely size and feeding great :) Will measure and weigh her when I bring her home.
Can't wait for that day!!! :)
Thanks for the words of encouragement all :)
Took some pics of her today when I went to get the equipment I needed.
Going to start her own thread though as I've also named her....

Put a deposit on my girl today
Setup requirements on order from eBay with the exception of hides, decor n heat mat which I'll pick up from the shop tomorrow hopefully.
Get that set up next week n hopefully bring her home end of next week :)
As most of you know, I sadly had to let Simba go a few weeks ago.

Unfortunately my worst fears have been confirmed

Gutted!
Just heard from vet
Cutting a long story short, after looking at X-ray with an experienced vet who keeps reptiles himself, Nicole (my vet) has said it looks like gout :(
Seems like a one sides weakness but she wants to try a weeks worth of antibiotics which can sometimes help if...
I'm really nervous now
Been emailing vet answers to questions re simba. Behaviour, issues etc...
She's asked me to drop him off mon morning so he can be xrayed and she can observe him!!
She has said if it is gout (lump on toe) then there's not much they can do for him :(
