Today, I made a hide box out of a black bin that has moist sphagnum moss and some coconut fiber under it and its warm inside. I fed her some ground turkey with bananas mushed in along with calcium dust and fish oil pill juice over it. After she ate this i gave her about 4 super worms as well. When she ate the ground turkey combination it seemed like it was to moist for her and she was making some weird noises while consuming it. The cage she is in has coconut fiber as it's main bedding besides what is under the hidebox, should I spray the main bedding down until it's wet underneath and on top like I have been or should I lightly spray it daily and keep the humidity box moist? I am thinking with me soaking her everyday like I have been then putting her in her cage to lay in damp bedding it may be causing the shed to stick to her. So far I think I have followed every suggestion offered, does it sound like things are going right or is there more I could be doing? I almost forgot that she eats every other day but she doesn't poop that often. She will go a week maybe a week and a half without pooping, is that normal for the fall time in tegus?
