Hey all!
You have all been so helpful the last time I posted so I just wanted to check here before going to a vet (I can't find any herp specialists anywhere near me so it'd be quite a trip)
My 7 month old Leo, Len (formerly Leonard before sexed recently) hasnt eaten in about 9 or 10 days since she last shed. I tried crickets, mealworms, superworms, you name it. No interest. Shes still active. No mouth breathing so I dont think its a respiratory infection. Moving normally. Not too much weight loss. I looked on her underside and her whole undercarriage is white so its near impossible to see if shes carrying eggs but I cant see any. Im just worried about what to do and want to help if I can but Im not sure whats left to try. She has an UTH thats auto set to 91. A moist hide and 2 dry hides. Plenty of water and usually get D3 and Calcium 3 times a week.
Any advice would be very helpful! I've seen in a few other thread a lot of females arent eating right now, but Im not sure if shes too young to be carrying eggs. Also I havent tried the warm bath and rubbing her belly as shes not exactly keen on being picked up right now.
Pics on Len and her underside. She also has a tiny bit of stuck shed on her nose as shown. Not sure if that matters. Its from a little over a week ago when she shed.
Thanks!!!
