Also Im planning to take her to the vet soon...
Im getting that laying bin this weekend, so need not to worry about it :)
Shes on a diet from now on. No more 2x a day feeding I'm narrowing it down to once a day.
I thank you guys for the reminder though and the advises given :)
Thank you for the info.. I think you might be right. I saw some polysporin online, http://www.amazon.com/Polysporin-First-Antibiotic-Ointment-1-Ounce/dp/B000GCNDE2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416619268&sr=8-1&keywords=polysporin will this be safe for her or do I need some specific for reptiles...
True, that is why I already bought tickets for the Dallas repticon this weekend. Im gonna get her a laying bin there also some more foliage. :)
For now I let her sleep on my big pothos vine plant. I just move her back into her cage for the light and uv.
