Concerned about an adult after laying.

sutmae May 20, 2004 05:01 PM

Hi,

One of my adults laid her first clutch about 3 weeks ago, not sure how old she is but she was full size when I got her 2 years ago. As far as I know this is the first time she has been bred. She laid 1 very small infertile egg.

Since then she has been loosing weight and seems to be very skinny now. Today when I got in from work she was just sat in her water dish and when I went to fill the worm pot up I noticed that her eyes had turned completely black. She is also quite lathargic tonight.

Any ideas on what could be wrong with her? It has been a very hot day today so I thought that it may be a touch of dehydration?

Might be from dehyardtion and give them more water and fresh daily unless it is infected and if you see pussy looking in eye it is infected.
