..anyway, she's back in her terrarium and at normal temperature. She's in perfect shape and moving around as if nothing ever happened.

Didn't have the patience to wait a couple more days, it just seemed so arbitrary.

Fingers crossed for an early feeding, Stefan! Not long now 'till I start to warm mine up. I'm worried of course... it's always a stressful time!

Re: Running out of tricks, need advice

I hope that it works out, Stefan. Usually mine don't take food directly after being at the correct temperature, that's why I wait a couple of days...

Five days, still no luck. She will inspect the food item, but won't eat it. Then she just sits there beside it for a few minutes, before crawling away and curling up somewhere else.

Re: Running out of tricks, need advice

I'm just warming up my bunch.... I'm not even going to attempt to feed them for a week. Even then I won't be surprised if they refuse food for another week.

Well, if she survived six weeks without eating and another 4 in brumation, she'll probably do fine for another two.

But she sure is a real pain in the ***.

Re: Running out of tricks, need advice

I hate it when they won't eat. I'm still struggling with the little pickeringii female. I'm sure she'll just die quite soon. There seems to be no will to live!
