New Baby Nosy be

SKITTLES

New Member
I have a around a 2 month old nosy be female. She has been doing great with eating and drinking. For the past couple days she has looked very light. Im not sure if this is normal or if she is going to shed but I am a tad bit worried. Below are 3 pictures, two are taken outside and one is the setup inside.
I am using a reptisun 5.0 watt and a 40 watt basking light on a 12 on/12 off schedule. Multiple temperature areas ranging from 88-80 F during the day and 70-75 F. I mist around 6 times aday. Keeping the humidity 45% to 88%. I feed her fruit flies and pin heads that are gut loaded. I have not been able to dust with calcium becuase they are to small I think. I take her outside everyday to sun bathe for around an hour at 88F. Please give me your opinions on her coloring, cage setup, temp/humidity, and eating. Also any opinions on the green reptile carpeting, is it bad?

She looks good to me. I think she is a pretty girly pink. Cute little thing. How is her poop? white and brown?

I would start dusting some of the feeders. Do you have a multi vitamin and a cal w/d3?

I would stay away from that carpet. Nothing on the floor is the best and easiest to clean

Edit : The D3 isn't too important since she is outside every day. But would be a good idea to have some on hand.
 
Poop

I looked at her poop today and noticed that between the white and brown there was a small bit of red/orange. Does this mean she is dehydrated? If so how should I handle this situation?

From looking at the pic of her leavings I would say that she could use some more hydration. The light colored part should be white, and when it starts to turn orange/red, or just not coming out at all you know that she is not getting enough water.
 
More then likely she's just starting 2 shed sometimes the shed real slow n sometimes u don't even get 2 see it. just moniter a bit more as well as try 2 make a dripper as well as just mist around here see if ur cham drinks n if u have 2 mist her/him urself 2 see ur cham drink then do it for a couple days. hopefully the cham is back 2 normal n hydrated.
 
Dead baby

Today she seemed to be doing great and as I was brining her in from outside I noticed that she was not fully gripping. 20 minutes later she was laying on a branch with eyes closed. I decided to pick her up to see if she was ok and she pooped in my hand and died.:( I am very unsure of what could of caused such a sudden death. She was eating great the other day. My only concern now is if I should worry about my adult nosy be male being close to that cage could he be in danger?:confused:
