This is my favorite female that I have. She's the one I was hoping for a clutch from this year the most. A couple weeks ago I noticed how skinny she was getting though, and have just been trying to get her to eat, not breed. She's been refusing food since late summer and really hasn't been a good eater since laying a clutch 2 years ago. Don't know why, she used to be a pig.



After she laid, she's been my biggest problem feeder(eats, just not consistently at all). She did have appropriate weight at the beginning of the season and locked up with my male cinnamon twice. Apparently it worked cause this is what I saw this evening when I got home from work. Now I'm really concerned though. Look at how skinny her tail is. Anyone think this could be bad?



I don't want anything to happen to her eggs and definitely don't want anything happening to her. She's an awesome breeder. 2 years ago she was only with a male het albino twice and gave me 7 eggs. I would be thrilled about this but look how skinny she is. Nothing I can do now, but do I need to be concerned? Sorry so long. I felt the need to explain. Thanks a lot for any comments. Ryan.
