She looks like shes shedding--- is she eating? Did we go over your lighting and surface basking temps? She is basking or not basking?

 

[Delilah-mybeardie]

She is basking and she prefers to stay basking and on her little tree branch I have it's a goes underneath her basking and the UVB she stays in one of them two areas for the most part she is eating and like this morning she ate about 10 or 11 dubia roaches and I read online about her poop and it's not you know diarrhea it's you know regular I guess it doesn't have a smell I just I'm worried cuz her eyes always look like she's tired but there's no mucus or anything like that coming out of them

She might have shed around the eyes -- its normal for them to close their eyes when basking - you dont want them to be gunky - they can get swollen eyes as well when shedding - it sounds like she is doing fine - eating basking and pooping thats what you want -- how is she getting water?

Well I've been missing her of course and I gave her I've been trying to give her a bath like soaker and some warm water but she's not that comfortable with me yet so it's a little difficult and then I have a little medicine syringe you know for kids that I've been putting water in and I've been trying to give her at least a few drops a day if that's what she'll take I mean I offer it to her every time I you know I'm in the room or when I'm feeding her I offer it to her it's just a matter of her actually drinking it or not and then of course she does have a water bowl in her enclosure

Drop water on her nose see if she will lick - rinse the greens before serving - watch her poops if they are moist formed and dark thats good - urate white formed and moist good - you dont want chalky or dried out looking shes dehydrated

Okay I've been giving her kale and I got some bok choy as well but mostly kale it last longer plus the fridge I keep it in is really cold and almost freezes it... I've put it on the top of her nose before so don't lick it from what I've seen how often should I be trying to give her water

No she can only have kale a couple times a week or the bok choy

 

[Sadie]

No she can only have kale a couple times a week or the bok choy

I will post she needs greens everyday and kale is a good staple feeder

 

[Delilah-mybeardie]

Okay that's what I've been giving her since I got her I just gave her bok choy a couple times I don't think she likes it she does like butternut squash though lol...

Butternut is good but can cause runny stools so beware -

Ignore the kale info it is outdated and a good staple feeder
