Ok this is my set up.



She has a 100gal mess cage. There is a 5gal bucket full of damp play sand if she becomes gravid. I use a zoomed 100watt basking spot bulb for heat and a 20watt super uv coil-lamp fluorescent bulb for uva and uvb. There are branches criss crossing her cage anf fake plants at the moment because I am leting her hibiscus get a month or two of pure sunlight. She gets 5 large crickets every other day. I gut load them with royal jelly bee pollen and give them water. She gets one wax worm every few days and sometimes a wax moth, they are fed oatmeal and honey. I also dust the crickets every two to three weeks with phosphorous free tri-cal fortified with D3. I also fed her hibiscus flowers whenever one blooms, she usually eats most or all of the flower. There are no fertilizers or pestisides on the plant.



Every once in a while when it good weather I put her in a smaller cage that can be put outside. I usually leave her out there for a few hours for natural uva and uvb intake.



I really started to notice that she was missing her food about a week or two ago and she has not had any problems before. The only thing that I can think of is that I have started to hand feed her more and she will shot for my fingers thinking it is the food and is gets stuck for a little bit. I chould have pulled it away when it happened and injured her tongue.



Thats every thing I can think of. If there is anything else I can tell you just ask.
