Sick, or just sick of being pregnant?

Hi "guys" Just got a question to ask and would appreciate any feedback.

"Well here goes" My female Jackson's is gravid, and the last time she gave birth she stopped eating for three days. Now she has stopped eating for four days "No babies" should I be concerned?

When did she have the last babies? We're they ok? Any slugs?

June 15th of this year, and there were no slugs. However none of the 15 neonates survived past 4 months.

Bump. She has lost 7 grams when she was gaining over 10 grams each month. doesn't anyone have an opinion I could use some advice. If it is a parasite can I even treat her while she is gravid? Please help

Is this from retained sperm or do you have the make too?

retained sperm. She did eat a supper worm today, but had to strike at it three times before her tongue would work right. don't know if her mouth was just dry or what. I gave her some water and watched her drink. My humidity doesn't go under 70% except right at the basking area should I back off the cool mist humidifier a tad?

Don't know if anyone still cares about this thread or not, but I thought I would report on her progress. She is eating but it has slowed way down to like 1 superworm every other day, and a cricket here and there. However she has gained back 5 grams which puts her to a total of 111 grams. Don't know if it is her or the babies. I'm concerned she is just not having the babies and I'm afraid she is becoming bound up. So do I wait the whole 9 months as long as she is gaining before I stress her out with a 2 1/2 hour vet trip in the winter???
Thanks in advance for any advice.
