Thanks Rose Red, I have been loosely following that guide but she gets really hungry! I, too, hate finals and that's partially why I am asking others! lol.
As per jack's request...
She is in a 20gal long with 2" aspen. She has a UTH powered by a hydrofarm thermostat bouncing between 80F to 85F (set to 83F). Her cold side (air-wise) is around 70F.
She has a desert rock warm hide that is probably too big, but it is filled loosely with aspen for burrowing and she loves it. She also has a tree trunk thing with multiple small hides on the cold side that she is usually in. I added a paper towel tube across the warm to center side and her travel tub as a cold side igloo. I have a bend-a-branch and silk ivy to add, still. Water bowl is in dead center.
No idea her weight, but above 14g (her weight as of late October). She's under a foot long, maybe near it (I never actually measured her). She's under a year old, I got her Oct. 20 at a show.
I usually feed her Wed. with a pinkie that's been cut and stuffed with Nutribac. I used the regurge protocol for a month (size-wise). I simply place it in the tank on a cardboard plate and she takes it sometime during the night.
I can't tell if she is dull as she is still very dark red/brown. The fattiness probably is poop as her belly is darker back there, but she usually does poop by now. I pulled her out today and noticed she was shinier than usual, but it easily could have been the light. Again, I haven't seen her out an about as much at night, but we also recently adopted a cat this week.
Any suggestions? Thanks for the quick response so far!
) when she is in shed. The fat near the tail might be poop ready to come out. Many times when Rose Red is in shed she will poop a big one, when she is finished shedding.
