I posted below with the tank info---but here it is again...

Temps are 100-107 in basking area, mid 70's on cool side. 75 gallon tank, newspaper substrate (cleaned out 2 times a day and after any 'incident'. She also has high coccidia levels--vet wanted to wait a week or so before starting Albon--because she was so underweight and stressed. Basking rocks are cleaned and baked daily.



This afternoon she ate some mustard greens from my hand and this evening she took 2 crickets. She took both doses of parazap tea well as 3cc of babyfood/pedialite. At least she went for some food on her own. I'm actually anxious to see her poo tomorrow...I hope some of the food has been absorbed!



Her colors have gotton dramatically darker the past few days--lots of stress markings, She has NO fat reserves left--the little she had on her back is gone and is sunken in. Her hips and pelvis stick way out...



I posted a picture of her last week. She looks even worse now. If I can I'll post another updated picure tomorrow. She is still moving around her tank/up and down her basking rocks without problems.



I appreciate any and all suggestions...
