: Hello. Its been a long time since I have posted. Anyway, my ig Gwaners doesnt like being in her house anymore. I figured I would make her a free roaming ig. I set up a basking shelf where she lounges in her basking light, and UVA/UVB lighting. I put her food dishes in the kitchen. I tried just pooping her in the tub in the morning, just so I wouldnt have to worry about her pooping on the carpet. Well, she didnt poop regularly every morning, so she messed on the carpet. I then bought her a litter box, and filled it up with Lizard Litter. When I saw her cruising for a spot to poop, I put her in the box. A few times of this, and she pooped in the box. She then started going in the litter box on her own and making poop. I was very proud. I would clean out the big poops, but leave only tiny pieces, thinking she would see them, or smell em and think this is the place to poop all the time. She pooped in her box for only a week. She then started on the carpet again. Any ideas? Help if you can. I hate to put her back in her cage.
: Thank you, Yvette and Gwaners

Could she be gravid? This time of year lots of females
are gravid as you know and some females seem to lose
all previous toilet training during this time.

Good luck,

MArie n SAmmy n baby SApphire
