Was it wc or cb? How long have you had it? Can you post some photos?

i have had her about 4 years. she is very active and eats well it just seems to me that her belly is just a bit soft. i take her to the vet every summer hear in baton rouge at lousiana state u's vet school and she has always been in good health. maybe i should try some vitamins?

you might try listing the stuff you've been feeding and the condition under which you are keeping the little guy to get a more helpful response.

Have you been supplementing her with calcium? What size is her enclosure? Do you have UVB and heat lamps in there?
