Thanks for the info,
I had a newt that escaped when I was 12 but thats about it , so this is really like the first reptile I've owned. As she seems better than she was (which IMO was near death, so not saying much) she has dropped some weight. I'm glad she was a little on the thick side before this whole thing started a month ago, I just left her some tilapia 30 min ago and she is now a few inches away just staring at it(kinda glad about that, she may eat tomorrow). I know about the minnows (B1 defficiency) but is there any alternative to live food? I could try worms but when she was tiny I could never get her to eat one. I don't think T. sauritus really even eat them at all.
