I asked a couple o questions and this was the Q & A I posted and recieved:

(my post)
:Thanks!
It was someone on another forum that wanted to see the photos. Did you notice any swelling on their legs, or just their bodies? I have s uv light strips in my cage with one powersun on the spot they bask the most...did your vet recommend solar drops? I keep getting mixed reviews on them.


(answer)
No prob. He recommended the Mercury Vapors. Yes, I thought they were muscle bound. My biggest cue was her not climbing to the top of the viv, and she stopped pooping as much. Calcium is needed for digestion so that is why she had a full gut in the picture. They are much better now!
