Green Iguana Society Message Board: Re: Hey one more question...

She is very sweet.... she has been all along... she is one to crawl right across a stranger look up at them and continue on to the sun spot on the back of the couch. I sometime forget to warn people when they first come into my house...lol

she has had pretty good poops... usually normal black squggelies... with a good white yolk... on occupations though it has been white with an out tan slime... right now she does not have much of an out put... because she doesn't have much going in... I was feeding her a puree... but on advise of here... I have stopped feeding her every day ... and gone back to 3-4 times a week ... with some calcium mixed in... I am also giving her about 2 syringes of water every couple of days... I want her to stay hydrated... she is also taking longer soaks... so I'm hoping that helps as well...

as of lately... she only has small black poops with minimal white yolk... but it is white... not yellow or tan... she is pooping smaller amounts but more often... she was potty trained... but has been missing alot...

she did leave a little poop in her egg box... I left it in there for a day or so and then took it out... didn't know if she was marking the area... or testing it out... but I did remove it... I wanted it to be clean...

Susan D... The under tank heater mounted on the side is working great... I have a couple of thermometers in there and they are reading between 70 and 80 degrees... with 80 percent humidity...

When encouraged to go into the box she spends a good 5 - 10 min in it... I have gradually gone down on my encouragement... I am confident that she now knows where her box is and if she wants to get in she can do it on her own...

Now to just wait and see.... ;o)
