well i hope she's eating like she's suppose to i have only seen her eat once since i got her..they say she should be fed 2 times a day...but half the day she's sleeping in her little house..and i dont wanna force feed her...but i have noticed that the mealworms are missing.

How old is Gabby if you don't mind me asking.
I had blaze at 6mth old and she's now 9mths, she sleeps all day but goes mad for crickets and i do the crickets in calcium every 2 days and i weighed her about 2wks back she weighed 45g they can go to 65g and she's 8" long already and her body and tail are thick.
Try Gabby with some crickets and see how she goes as Blaze won't touch mealworms and maybe she might gain abit more weight and enjoy them more.

she's eating the mealworms bc they keep disappearing and i dont know what size crickets to get...i know your not suppose to get things bigger then the space between their eyes..does that mean the cricket cant be thicker then the space between or longer then i am confused on that part heh so i tried the smallest crickets i could find heh.

I'll ask you to be a friend and you can look at the pic's of blaze to see how big she's got and when you click on a pic, it blows up full.
The crickets i was getting blaze at 6mths was medium silent crickets because when you store them in a warm place, they mature more and i add two apricots in there, every couple of days and they feed off them.

Hi Steven, here's a pic of how i've got Blazes tank set up inside, i use sand but everyone to their own joice but your mates would be worth buying as that lot cost me £225 with everything.
