It's hard to say but in the picture, you animal already looks distressed. Has it only had one meal? I have hatchlings go more than 2 months without eating their first meal and once they do, they are fine. They do not lose much weight at all. IMHO, your animal looks sick. Where did it come from? What did you feed her? Was it F/T? I did have a baby chondro die after feeding her a F/T mouse pink from a pet store. I'm sure the mouse pink had something to do with it.

It it's just a bad pic, I apologize for the sick comment. And sorry to hear about your loss. That sucks!
