Not Eating...Help?

[clemsonguy1125]

My female leo has not eaten since monday(now friday) or pooped. The temperature is 93 on the warm and between 69 and 72 of the cool side. I have a UTH. Im wondering if she could be ovulating. She shep 3 weeks ago but doesnt look ready to shed. She doesnt look skinny but doesnt seem to have gained much weight since I got her in late september. She eats 7 mealworms every other day. Shes about 28 grams which is what she was when I got her. I think my scale may be off so Ill weigh her again. SHe was born June 25. Is it abnormal for her to be this weight. She doesn't appear to be skinny though.

Heres a picture from a week or two ago I took one but I couldnt get a good one of her belly and she wasnt happy so I didnt want to stress her out with the flash or anything.

She looks just fine. Maybe the lower winter temps make her eat less. I wouldn't worry. Just keep offering food as you would normally do.

Thanks, I was just a bit worried that shes still only 28 grams, is it normal for her to have a dark vein down the middle of her belly. She hates me looking at her belly and flash so I dont have a picture.

at 28 grs theres a slim chance shes gravid but I doubt it at that age.

Ok, so you think shes fine? I brought the temp up to 96 so I hope she will eat tonight. Ill put some eco earth in her humid hide incase she lays an infertile egg.

An update, she ate two mealworms last night after I turned the heat up. Im replacing the paper towels in the humid hide with cocofiber. I need to check the tank to make sure they didnt escape from the dish but it looks good.

Actually she looks real healthy:main_thumbsup:

Thanks, unfortunately she didn't eat and the two mealworms escaped from the dish but it looks like she might shed in the next few days which would explain the not eating. I've got some cocafiber but would sphagnum moss from a garden store wOrk instead or is there typically added chemicals.
