well she is definitely down to just twitching here and there and she looks alot better than she did yesterday. i have been giving her drops of the calcium syrup through out the day, just little amounts at a time because she takes them easier and this way i don't have to worry about squeezing her eggs. also i left her UVB on all night. i am going to continue this for the next couple days and then cut down to once in the morning and once in the evening and see if it keeps her from twitching. once i get my tax refund i will probably get blood work done on her so i can get her calcium levels up to where they need to be

She should be okay, just keep up the extra calcium, and see if there is steady visable improvement each day!

Hopefully there will be

Glad to hear it is reduced. Just a thought to throw out there... maybe he is epileptic... not sure what would cause it... or maybe he is nervous is all... dunno... would like to know what the scoop is

well ivan's full name is ivan the girl. she is a progressive type trying to defy gender roles, ha ha. i thought she was a boy many moons ago. she just got pregnant so i am assuming those little eggs are sucking all the calcium out of her. tonight when i gave her her medicine she was not even toe twitching so maybe she is reaching normal levels
