Hiya people,
My little lizzie has been acting strange the last few weeks. She's not been eating so well, but I've upped the temp in her viv and I've seen her eat a few wax worms this last week. She's not being handled as much as I started a new job 3 weeks ago and there's literally only an hour from me getting home before her lights go off, but she came out on shaun last night... the last time she readily came out was when she was gravid and we realised she was looking for a place to dig. Her behavior now is very similar to then, she's pacing her viv alot, and wandering around the bottom of it, but it's only been a month since she laid her first clutch. She's gone back to light green, no gravid colours and she's far to skinny to have eggs again. Has anyone else come across this kind of behavior and what does it signify?
Thanks in advance, Char x

Agreed she could need to lay again. Or she may be being receptive and looking for a male. You may want to fill out the questionnaire on how to ask a question and post to give more experienced keepers a chance to look over her care and give you some advice, Here's the link.
