    Is she shedding at all? My uro sheds on his hands and head first. You could get your basking and ambient up about 10 degrees, they like it hot! Is she eating at least a little, and still going to the bathroom? She sounds lucky to have such a big tank. What substrate does she have, and what's she eating?

    She eats chopped bok choy,endive, carrot shavings and fresh peas..i will bring up the temp.. Bedding is a pellet caled Critter Control and some baked pine as well. No shedding but when she appears she is a little different in color every time. Should i add more stuff to the tank for her to play with or should i just keep it simple......Could she just be Bored? Thx again!
