Ok Guys. She passed away Sunday morning/ Saturday night. I've waited for the Vet Necropsy to communicate what took her. First, she never laid any eggs (other than the first 33), and we know not to disturb her. When laying we have her in the master bathroom (that never gets used). When...
She didn't lay eggs, as she was too weak to do so. We took her to the vet and the vet agreed that it is MBD, especially with the quantity of eggs she laid (and has to lay again); and gave us liquid calcium. We've had to force the water (dropper along with liquid calcium). Her stools have gone...
Well. We got the lights (one for my male too), got home and she was digging... She didn't go deeper than 4 or 5 inches this time around and she's laying eggs as I write this, lol.
Her limbs are all fine. It's just the one bump and the loss of some of her claws. We'll see about the bump after...
So I've observed her over the last couple days and examined her carefully. I haven't seen the gaping behavior other than the once. She hasn't fallen either. She is still sleeping on and off and lethargic. There is a "bump" protrusion on her back hip at the base of her tail. My bulb is about...
Sounds like she needs to lay. Ours took to it and it took her about 36 hours to do her business. We started a little tunnel for her (about 3" deep) and she totally took it over and dug nearly to the bottom of the bucket. Be sure that your soil mix will support the tunnel, and just be patient. =)
I took out the dirt bucket because I figured she probably has a few months before she needs to lay again (?) (How soon could she need to lay since her last clutch was only just 4 weeks ago????!!!)
I feed her about 6 crickets a night, occasionally just a couple if she isn't as enthusiastic...
I'll try to fill out the info about her first as best as I can remember it...
Enclosure: 18x18x36 screen.
Watering/Humidity: Drip and Mist, we mist frequently. Especially knowing that the humidity levels drop during the summer months with the AC units in the house.
Heat and Light: We...
Thanks Dez =) It is an 18x18x36. And while the bottom does come out, making a big dirt bin like that won't work in our home (though my 1yo and 3yo may advocate otherwise!) I'm gonna try the false bottom, and move her if I have to next; and very last try the closed container thing. I'm hoping...
Timid Female Veiled
I'm so thankful for this thread! I'm trying to troubleshoot my female. It's her first clutch (not fertilized) and we've done about everything (my wife and I) that we've read. There are, however, variables that haven't been covered:
1) We've got our chams in the living...
