collared not eating

terrimcc Apr 27, 2005 02:16 PM

Me again!
Have looked at my collared and now think it is a female, not 100% but from the pictures provided (thanku!) now think that she is a girl!
She still isn't eating well, must have been hungry yesterday though as I tried her with a couple of wax worms and she ate them and then she ate a couple of locusts too. Had another couple of wax worms today but tried her with some crickets as have no locusts left but she wasn't interested, one crawled right over her, but nothing! am going to try and get her out in some real sun at the weekend (assuming there is some that is!)
She does seem very lively though! although she is hiding away before her uv goes off, (am a bit concerned she isn't getting enough rays!)
Any more advice would be much appreciated
And also how do you post a picture as I would like to?!

She is an eastern collared lizard and isn't showing any signs that she is getting any thinner.

any weight I would not be to concered. Seems she ate the locusts and waxies oKay, sometimes they are not hungry everyday!

Alot of people feed them every other day! Unless very young or Gravid females.

I feed mine everyday, but some are not as hungry. If shes active and weight is okay then ,just keep an eye on her like you are doing

Here are some pic instructions for you, can't wait to see her!
