i think im going to schedule an appointment with a vet. should i wait a little longer, but than she might die so. i think i will bring her.

I would definitly bring her in to see your reptile vet. Also try and bring a fresh or as fresh as posible fecal sample. Im no pro but as far as introducing them i would house them in seperate enclosures and leave it at that. Especially since you have a adult and a baby! The debate over comunity housing seems to be a hot one tho so you may be getting a lot more opinions on the matter! lol

Good luck and hope your older girl gets better soon!

Especally now keep them apart. One, what ever is wrong with the older one might be contagious, and two, food compatition; you don't want them fighting over food.

Sorry, not "fighting" really, but one will end up hogging more. Who's ever fastest.
