Hello! I just wanted to get a professional eye to examine her limbs and tell me if you see any signs of mbd, shes not displaying any signs but just wanted to make sure as a concerned parent :)
(And yes i had some cheeto dust on my fingers because my boyfriend told me to hold her while he takes a pic) ?

No calcium with D3?
What do you feed/gutload the insects wIth?
Go easy on the wax worms because they are fatty. You can use silkworms, BSFL, roaches, locusts, etc. and occasionally suoerworms.

For basking I use a regular incandescent household bulb of a wattage that produces the right basking temperature...has nothing to do with MBD...just letting you know.

The reptivite has calcium with d3 and i gutload crickets with collard greens, mustard greens, carrots and apple slices
 
Oops...my mistake...I thought you said herptivite!
You can use dandelion greens, kale, endive, escarole, squash, zucchini, sweet potatoes, sweet red peppers, etc as well. A little bit of pear, melon, berries is ok too.
