she laid her first clutch the night i got her in september. the second clutch must have come some time in october, because i did not notice the eggs until december, and they hatched early january this year. so it has been quite a while since she has laid any eggs. she hasnt been with a male since december. shes been all alone in her cage with nothing but her plants, twigs, and crickets. she was in good health for a long time, then she suddenly fell ill, and neither i nor the vet can tell whats going on.

im gonna find that ou today. what im planning on doing is continuing to feed her dusted small crix, and im gonna go pick up some baby food and see about that. these guys are so tiny im avoiding forcfeeding. if i find out she is not eating, i will probably take her in soon to be put to sleep.

Who knows maybe since hes (VET) not sure of what it is, maybe she can pull through.

To me it looks like an infection at the vent area, so swollen.
I breed collareds and on the collared forum there was a guy who showed us a pic, of his female and the vent was swollen and kinda darker looking.
Anyway turned out to be an infection and shes getting antibiotics.

But... she did have use of her hind legs, Thats whats weird with your girl, the legs. Geesh, keep us updated, (shame)

ok i took her in on the 14th and at her exam she weighed 5 grams. i have had her back since then, and i weighed her and she ended up being 5.6 grams. we'll see how things fair, but she didnt seem to have any interest in eating earlier.

yea i still dont understand though, because i have always kept my humidity up, i make several trips around my room each day to mist the tanks. and i keep it in the 70%-80% range, it remains fairly constant because of the moisture that the substrate holds. she never took well to having a hide spot, she always chose to sleep at the top of the tank on her vine, at least until she got sick. its real difficult to pinpoint whats going wrong, but thenagain she could just be falling ill because shes old, i dont know any real way to tell for sure. shes still got energy and is still moving about, but still isnt eating. :
