LOL. I've been reluctant to post anything in this forum due to the bickering, but your shutting down comment did peak my interest. I have garters, some CB & some WC, who always go off feed in the winter no matter what I do and I've had a corn who ate year round pretty much no matter what I did so it's interesting to hear that this little one is somewhere in between

She is supposedly captive bred. I find that a little hard to believe considering the circumstances she ended up in. It's just hard for me to imagine someone breeding Z's in CA and placing one with someone who would randomly drop it off at a pet store, but you never know. I'm happy to have her, either way, and since she's the only one I'm allowed she's very special to me I've had her about two months, so it was perfect timing for her appetite to pick up anyway. It'll be interesting to see what she does this winter. I have her set up with a heat mat on a thermostat in a 20L, with a couple of identical hides, driftwood & a water bowl. She's just a little thing, so this works well for now. You'll notice that I don't have a humid hide for her, though, nor do I provide much humidity or live in a humid area. Hmmm. She's shed perfectly twice since she's been here and seems to be doing well. Think I should add a humid hide anyway?
