For that last 1 1/2 weeks my 3 yr old female veiled cham has not eaten. She is getting thinner, and will not eat anything I've offered lobsters, dubias, bannanas, carrots, greens, but she will still not eat them. She also looks dehydrated. Please help!

Female veiled cham/3 years old

I handle her rarely.

Mostly lobster roaches with the occasional fruit or veggie. I offer food ever other day w rep-cal, pure calcium and herptivite every few days. The insects are gut loaded on veggies/fruit.

I mist, I rarely see her drink.

Her poo is normal weel formed w/no odd colors. No she hasn't recieved any treatment for parasites.

I've NEVER had any problems whatsoever.

a week without eating isnt too bad. Especially if she's about to shed or bored or soon to lay eggs. Do you weight her every day? Was this weight loss sudden, or gradual over time? Is she drinking? With high temps like that, its possible to become dehydrated. Do you ahve a recent picture you can post of her?
Have you taken her to a vet?
 
Can you post a picture?
Could she be carrying eggs?
Is she keeping her eyes open or shut?
Is she sitting high or low in her cage?
