Thanks for your help Susan!! Here are the answers to your questions. Please let me know if you have trouble with them.



You say she has shed two times since you have had her....how long have you had her? We got her at the January 10th Havre De Grace Reptile Show from Outback Reptiles.



What is her demeanor?

QAR. Basicallyacting decently bright. She is not lethargic or sluggish. She even had no problem trying to bite Cheyenne more than once, one of my coworkers who helped me with the rads. And she struggles pretty good when I have to give her the oral meds (she doesn't like it).



Is she laying in a tight perfect coil on heat? Is she laying off heat? Moving around or still?

She is in a rack that provides belly heat. She has been sticking to the warm side which is around 89-93 degrees give or take. She has been coiled, and has not been "cruising," but not really in that picutre-perfect coil you would normally see.



Do you have any kind of nesting box or substrate for her and if so, is she using it?

I have not (total FAIL on my part). Open for suggestions. However, she has gotten cleanings of her tubs, and each time she keeps clearing the bedding out of the back and making herself a hole to sleep in.



Did you see any ovulation?

I did not. She was just as thick when I got her as she is now. i feel I probably would have missed it, and she came to me after ovulation.



When was the last shed?

Appx 9-10 days ago.

Cheers!
