She hasn't been eating for a few days & she's got sand stuck all over her underside & on her cloaca & everything. I'm soaking her in some water right now. Someone please tell me what to do.

Well the soak got rid of all the sand & the little bit of excrement stuck on her but her cloaca still looks like it may be a bit swollen.

I dunno. & it's far too early for her to brumate. She still hasn't gotten all fattened up yet since she just laid her eggs.

Hey, are ya sure she just did not run through her water, and the sand stuck, and in the mean time shes starting to brumate. I have had Hopi do it and the sand is like cement on her.
Does she look sick? Is she basking ? Losing weight?

...was her color change in the last picture you posted. I have seen mine smear themselves with a fresh poo pile now and then, if they get spazzed by something "right in the act". I'm doing some checking around on the color thing, seems pretty unusual to me.... Siona was a virtual twin to Hulk in color, and none of her relatives are anything like that pale. All of them have laid eggs in the last month or so. Here is a snap of Hulk from an hour ago, and if anything, Siona was a tad darker.

....naw, she has done a clutch earlier and is no longer showing any orange banding. Just been power feeding, getting her ready to brumate LOL.
