Morgana not eating!!

[Kimberly n Morgana]

well I am on day 2 of Morgana not eating, dont know what is going on with her.
She was moving around her habitat yesterday, but today she is laying on the lower limb of her basking stick, in the shade and hasnt moved to get her food at all.

2 days ago she ate 18 crickets and half her salad....could it be she is still full and maybe just not hungry??

Her eyes are alert and she moves her head towards me when I come to the glass, her poopie is normal, temp is good, humidity is low...

I just dont know whats wrong!

it's been around two and half weeks since you got her.  You've changed a few things to benefit her.  It's fairly logical it would still be relocation stress.  Observe her for another week, offer her food, and soaks.  If nothing changes, a fecal is in order.

we did just add another branch... a taller one so she can get closer to her UVB light....I hope thats all it is thanks for the response

well she is now rubbing her face on her branch and big flakes of skin are coming off her face and neck......she is also running from my hand which is something new for her to do....so I guess I'll just chalk it up to her shedding, and keep trying to feed her until she decides to eat!

thanks for the help

Shedding can make them real little brats. Add in relocation stress and you've got your hands full. Giving her a good soak will help her be more comfortable with the shed.

lol....did it b4 you said it... I remembered you gave that advice on another post I read

I let her have a long soak tonight and just rubbed her while she was in the water, I kept the temp about 93 Degrees.
I also helped peel a little of the skin hanging off by her mouth and nose, and she hasnt rubbed her face since!

I put 8 powdered crickets in with her this morning.... after her bath and helping her shed a little all but 1 was eaten.

bless her heart I cant even begin to think of how awful shedding makes her feel, so I guess just some extra TLC for her till shes done <3


Thanks for the wonderful advice

Please don't peel the skin for her. It will come off when it's ready. Making it come off can damage the delicate new skin below and hurt her.
