Sick collared?

nicolehh11 Dec 13, 2011 09:03 PM

My oldest collared, I'm guessing at about a year old hasn't eaten for quite some time now. Probably for about a month. She doesn't appear sick, I can pick her up and she acts like her normal self but I just can't get her to eat. Anything I should try to get her to eat? I feed her large crickets, I've tried offering greens before but she has no interest in them.

It could be the time of year I have noticed that mine tend to eat not as much as the weather turns colder. I have had some of mine even put up the 'do not disturb' sign and self-brumate and then when the weather warms up they come out and are voracious feeders. If you have the proper lighting and temperature ranges there shouldn't be a problem, I would monitor her weight and see if she's drinking water.
