That's perfect you can use anything that she can hold with her little grabby feet . Even a plastic cup works . She won't likely like what you're doing so you'll have to do it quick . you want to do it once a week , Keep a little journal .
She will fill in her hole pat it down perfectly like nothing happened , then go back up to her basking spot . She will be very hungry , need hydration and look much thinner .
She was not ever mated right ? You can I got one from vet that was liquid . You can check in with your vet and see what she wants you to do .
I can't speak for your vet mine does not .
I honestly don't think she is ready . I think she was upset with being looked at . They get sassy like that . You know her better then I do . So if you truly think she is producing eggs , is not showing colors . I would have some X-rays to know for sure . Looking at her I would say no . I would never want to be wrong and something happen .
@kinyonga has a lot more experience. She's had many more then I . She's seen lots of different females .
She does not have the colors , but I have read several Accounts where there was no color change . I don't want to say no and it be a yes . We have only had Frances to go on . She was a definite yes .
What concerns me is that she doesn't mind being looked at, she sits on people's hands and arms, and she is always green. She let me hold her for several minutes today without even squirming. The only exception to her being green was one time when I had to hold her somewhat snugly to give her medication near her eye and be careful to not get it in her eye. She did not like that and turned bright alarming colors, but she didn't try to bite. However, she has never been uncomfortable with my my sister or niece, nor has she turned colors in front of any stranger seeing her for the first time. She was even friendly with 5+ veterinary staff whom she had never encountered before. And she is pacing more than usual and seems a little chubby. But it could mean nothing and just be a fluke that she was unusually spotted and colored when my sister saw her last night. I just want to err on safe side by having all my ducks in a row Thanks for the info and thanks to Lynda for sending the pics.
