I've only had her for 2 weeks, and they said she was CB...but i dont really trust the vendor (the name escapes me right now...they are sort of like regal...) Her basking temp is as high as 95...depending where she stands on her perch. The thermal gradient is 95-75 (75 near the bottom, on the cool end of the reptarium). The humidity is varied as well. I use beaked moss on the bottom of the tank to retain humidity (i watch for mold)..she has a full dripper (little dripper) that drips into a waterfall (with no pump, i just use the structure with the dripper) every morning. She gets sprayed down each evening.

I gutload with flukers cricket chow, cricket water 'cubes' infused with calcium.. and nature zone green cricket cubes. The I mix that with a bit of honey and fresh veggies from time to time.

Since i learned that she is a female, i have been dusting with reptocal 1.0 calcium with D3, and from time to time she has been getting bearded dragon dust by sandfire ranch. She has a 24" 5.0 bulb with a basking bulb. At night the temp doesnt drop below 72...my reptile room is warm.

I thought she was dead this morning....she was wedged in between some cage furniture on the bottom of the tank. She was weak and barely breathing. I picked her up and held her (which i have never done before...) she laid in my hands with her tail loosley wrapped around my finger...
I held her for about t45 minutes. She started to breathe a bit more, and while i was holding her i made a small hammock for her out of a bandanna in her tank near her basking spot. When i set her on her hammock, she stood up and weakly started to walk around. Then she started to climb, and her color started to improve... she started 'makeing sure' that her eggs are covered well.
I am surprized she bounced back like that...
now she has dissappeared again, i think she has burried herself in the moss again. I she going to die?
thanks for the help, j
