I would put calcium in a dish/lid straight so she can take some as she wants it and every feeding (crix or babyfood) I would add alittle too. Try and find apricot babyfood since it is naturally higher in calcium then peaches. I would try and get her under a 5.0 Flor UVB bulb (Zoo Med or Hagens Exo-Tera) for about 8 hours a day.

Shaking usually means the onset of MBD and other signs of advanced stages will appear soon. I would seek out a good herp vet in your area (if any exist there) and most likely you'll need a couple series of injections.

Good luck with her
Eric
