Thanks for the information, just in a little word of defense, This happened on a Saturday, and by Monday, she looked and acted 100% better. Also, I have lost faith in a particular herp vet in the San Diego area. I would definitely like some suggestions as to who I can trust with these extraordinary animals. Here are some cage specs. The enclosure is 3LX2WX4H. I am building one 4x3x6 currently. The relative humidity is 60-65%. The entire cage is misted every 2 hours for a duration of 1 minute, 24 hours a day (Pro-mist). One ceramic 250W heat lamp(90 deg basking) is on during the day, and 1 75W black light is on 24 hours a day. I have a UV light on for the same duration that the ceramic heater is on (12 hours). I feed them a mixture of Kale, yellow squash, zucchini, and frozen mixed veggies every other day. They really prefer the frozen veggies and kale to anything else. About once a week I offer fruit such as strawberries, bananas, pears, and apples. If there is any other info anybody would like, just let me know as I am always searching for more info on these guys. They are truly unique creatures and it is my goal to provide them with the best I possibly can. Thank You
