This is a very common problem at about this age. Lots of members have had issues. The first thing I always ask is has she pooped? Sometimes it’s hard to be sure, especially if she has pooped in one burrow and now has dug a different one. If she has pooped recently, like in the last week, and still refusing food, then the next question would be what sort of substrate is she on and is there a possibility that she has ingested material that could be causing impaction? Those are two good diagnostic tools to start with. Also, does she look alright in every other way? Skin? Eyes? Movements?

So very tiny at that age. So what’s the story with the free part?

[Zoodulcis]

Yeah, what she said.

They molt about every 16-18 months, depending on how much they are fed. They will need a new and larger shell provided for them during that time.

Fingers crossed! Sounds like you may be thinking about beardie hobby farming. Some ventures start that way, I should know.

Good to know and thanks for that info. Are you expecting more babies this year?

[Zoodulcis]

That is super helpful advice, especially the part about picking up the eggs and putting them down without turning them. Anyone who has incubated poultry eggs knows that periodic turning is critical for a successful hatch, and might make that mistake with lizard eggs, and end up with a failed hatch. Can you say what the humidity was, more or less?

[Zoodulcis]

Oh nice! Any tips you want to share about successful hatching that you learned through self-study?

[Zoodulcis]

He does seem comfy, although not nearly as much as on the heating pad!

What a hilarious picture of sheer bliss. How old is he?

[Zoodulcis]

Congratulations and fingers crossed for the other two eggs!

I’m guessing super snow diablo blanco.

That is a nice habitat. Did you just get this pet? He looks like he could just a bit of fattening up. Crickets will sure help with that!

[Zoodulcis]

Looks like he has a bit of a black beard going on. I hope he doesn’t suffer from road rage!

[Zoodulcis]

You can say again!
