She is a three-toed. Very pretty and I can't tell if she is thin from this picture-but her skin does look loose on her back leg. With a good diet she will fatten up. Try waxworms.

It often takes time to get them eating well but all my three-toeds are good eaters, so unlike many ornates-they really like a variety of foods. I would chop her favorite mustard greens and corn with some other good foods (cooked sweet potatoes, carrots, or yellow squash and insects) and see if that will entice her to eat other things.

Good luck!
