This is my girl after laying an egg and she's not gaining weight at all. I've tried to feed her mealies, roaches (she ate 3), Crickets, and I bought her phoenix worms tonight and she ate 14 of them. I'm very concerned.
This is what she looked like a year ago:
About your leo:
- Sex
- Age & Weight
- How long have you owned your leo
- Where was he/she obtained (ex. Pet store, breeder, wild caught, friend)
A) Health/History
- How often do you handle your leo
- Is your leo acting any different today? If so how does he/she normally act which differs from now.
- Has he/she had any problems in the past, if so please describe.
B) Fecals
- Describe (look any different than normal)
- When was the last time he/she went
C) Problem
- Please briefly describe the problem and how long it has been going on
Housing:
A) Enclosure
- Size - 10 gallon
- Type (ex. glass tank) - glass
- Type of substrate - slate tile and paper towel
- Hides, how many, what kind - Cool, warm and humid hides
B) Heating
- Heat source - UTH
- Cage temps (hot side, cool side) 94º on the warm side, 77º on the cool side
- Method of regulating heat source - Rheostat
- What are you using to measure your temps - gages and heat gun for tile
- Do you have any lights (describe) - no
C) Cage mates
- How many (males, females) - none
- Describe health, or previous problems - She started losing weight and I thought maybe she was impacted because her UTH burned out and I had to replace it. I started giving her warm baths and tummy massages and within 5 days she laid the egg. I had seen her twirling around and straining it looked like which is why i thought she was impacted.
Describe Diet:
A) Typical diet
- What you're feeding (how often, how much) - Mealies as aa main staple but crickets every other week. Recently added roaches and phoenix worms to try to coax her to eat more.
- How are you feeding (hand fed, left in dish, ect) most of them are left in her dish, the roaches i put her in a critter keeper and let her eat she only ate 3 small ones. The phoenix worms were put on my desk in front of her and she snapped them up real quick. About 14 of those.
B) Supplements (describe how often)
- What vitamin/minerals are you using (list brands) - Calcium (not sure the brand it's in a white tub, MV by Reptivite once a week.
- What are you gut loading food with - Cricket food. I put the worms in a container a week before with bedding and cricket food. I also feed them carrots and whatever other veggie I have around for moisture.
