Hi,
I am really worried about Gizzy and wondered if someone could help me please ? She seems to be eating, drinking etc as normal and she is not exhibiting this behaviour all the time. When i get up in the morning she comes out to warm up as normal and is lovely and green, i feed her and she eats well even losing her patience and chasing the crickets if they done come past her. In the afternoons for some reason she is climbing onto the tank floor and turning dark spots/stripes. Is this normal or is she ill ? I didn`t think she would lay on the floor being arboreal.
I have attached some pics and some close up of her legs and would be grateful for opinions on whether you think there is a problem or not. At present she is still in the glass tank until her new home arrives in a few days. I mist her 2-3times a day for several mins and she is drinking. Her crickets are dusted with calcium supplement and gut loaded with a shop bought product with vitamins etc. Humidity is 50-80% and basking temp of 85f. She also has a croton (live) in her enclosure and a white candescent bulb for heat and uv 5.0 repti glow tube. She feeds in the morning and is eating between 12-16 crickets per day. Hope that`s enought info.
