I have an A+ Raining Red Stripe that has lost about 15 grams after getting her as an adult April of 09. She came from a small local breeder, and all of her animals are in exceptional quality, as are mine. So I don't fear any parasite, she was quarentined and has been kept in an individual tub. When she came to me she was about 1 1/2 yrs old and weighed 64 grams, prime body and tail condition. She never really started eating well for me though. I feed a variety of food items. I offer my base diet of mealworms to all, she'll eat a few but not much. I feed crickets occasionally to mix it up. She will eat a couple. Superworms and waxworms are treats only on occasion. She'll again only eat a few. While feeding a round of pinkies to my breeder females before mating I offered her one and after some coaxing she took one small pinkie. She has gotten down to 45 grams and is still in good condition just not near as prolific as she was. Her tail is still fat. To anyone else she would look fine, but looking at her records on paper it would look like something is wrong (I keep records on weight, feeding, breeding, food preferences and anything else that I need to reference later) . Temps are on target, calcium is always available, and multivitamins as needed, she's got plenty of room to thermo regulate her temp.
Anyone else have any similar problems. Any second opinions are welcomed
