Cage Info:
We had to trickle water in her mouth to re hydrate her (we had cage set up all wring and lighting wrong. With the few responses i had on that post i went into action and got things needed to properly have her cage set up and make her feel at home. I believe she may be drinking on her own the droplets of water from the plants but i have not seen with my wyes her do it. I am worried she is not eating tho and if so this will be day 3 of no food i use crickets but what is a feeder? Maybe id benefit with one of those for her. Attached are pictures of last night (she looks ill) but then today in her plant with uvb bulb on top of cage hoovering down she changed color and looks better
