:she eats the iguanaden diet with some occasional mixing in of other fruits and vegies both uv and heat light at the top a huge limb for her to climb with shelves for her i have a heating pad wrapped around the top of the limb covered with a towel for night heating she has devoloped quite the attitude and poops whenever and wherever currently a very frustrating thing i cant keep her out of trouble!!!! if i live my spaghetti or other laying around to long she is nose first in the bowl (to long means formore than 5minutes) aarrrghhh lol
she also gets a calcium spray on her veggies every day im always open for suggestions thanks o and ive had her for aboput amonth and a half
still no significant weight gain

It probably took Dharma the better part of two months before she started gaining much weight. The first month was pretty much getting acclimated to the new surroundings with heat, light, etc... She slept alot and ate very little for the first few weeks. But once she decided to start eating again there was no stopping her. LOL..Up until about a week ago, she would eat at least two "sandwich container" sized bowls of food daily. Bathroom duty became regular at 5-6 p.m. every day and now she's just a little terror...LOL... She's actually starting to develop a bit of an attitude - we think it's because her tank is suddenly too small for her. A new 2x4x4 enclosure is currently in design phase and will hopefully be complete in a few weeks.
: What are you feeding yours ? What kind of light setup, enclosure, etc ? Maybe we can suggest something that you haven't thought of yet ... ;)
