She had 2 clutches with them in the 8 months they owned her. The first one is what probably started her downhill slide. She stayed low in the cage, beneath the plant for the most part. Away from basking and UVB. It seems as long as the owners could see her down there, and she wasn't dead, they figured she was OK. Then the wife realized there was a prob and began hand feeding her. I think that was shortly before we purchased her. Although the couple claimed "she always looked like that-since we got her". That's possible, just not probable.
Thank God for forums such as this. Dave Weldon gave us great advice when our veiled male Guido was impacted, and then directed us to this forum. Guido came through it just great. He had eaten a bundle of twigs from some dead matter at the base of one of his plants. (I was putting stones on the soil at the base of his plants, but was not careful to remove all the little dead matter that can accumulate as the plant ages.) After over-hydration, pedialyte, and canned pears, Guido's body coated the mass with enough mucus for him to pass it. That was in May of 2007. Guido will turn 4 this year. He's the chunky guy in our Avatar.
