Would be at the bottom of her cage.? She can't be gravid, she doesn't have the yellow colors and is still skinny and has a flat stomach. Is there any other reason why I should be finding her at the bottom of her enclosure.?

Is she just visiting the bottom of the cage or is she parked there?

You might want to fill in the "How to ask for help" form so the experienced members can offer some insight. Please include pictures of her if at all possible.

She's parked there. I'll have to fill it out later tonight. Only have phone right now.

Is she keeping her eyes open or shut when sitting on the bottom of the cage?
What is the temperature in the basking area of the cage? The rest of the cage?
Do you have a place in her cage for her to dig to show you when she's ready to lay eggs?

 

[mychamtini112012]

Her eyes are always open at the bottom.
Basking is around 82 and it goes all the way down to 65-70 at the bottom.
I'm getting one tomorrow. Have to search for sand...

you can buy the sand at home depot. Washed playsand is what you want.

I don't think we have a home depot. The closest is like two hours away....

There's one in Jacksonville, about 45 minutes outside of Springfield.
