    I haven't been handling at all since she stopped eating, exept for the weighings of course, but those were short sessions.
    I've been offering every 5
    I'll stop waking her up/disturbing before she eats. Last time I didn't have too because she was always out, but I won't even if she's hidden away.
    Thanks guys so much again

    All sounds good. You might want to go even smaller than a 5 gallon though. Cosmo came to me in a 2.5 gallon and wasn't eating. I put him in a small Tupperware container inside the 2.5 and blocked out the sides so he felt super secure at that point and started eating.
    Cosmo is 86 grams as of last week, and in a 10 gallon. He stayed in the 2.5 gallon after he outgrew the Tupperware until he was about 40 grams if I recall.

    It is a little tougher to get a gradient, but still doable.
    Cosmo was in the Tupperware full time til he outgrew it.

    Im sorry, I'm looking around for small 2.5-3g tanks and I can't find any that'd work for her (all for fish with holes for filters). Do you know one I could use? Or will I have to use the 5?
    *I just remembered I have a 2.5g critter keeper. I just don't know how I'd heat that and what about uth?

    I think you could probably use the 5 if you put a small Tupperware inside it. All I put inside it was a tiny water dish, a tiny fake plant, a tiny piece of toilet paper cardboard tube, and aspen substrate.
    I just dug out the tank he started in (he came to me in it, I didn't buy it) and looking at it it might even be a 1.5 gallon may be 2. I always thought it was 2.5, but I may be wrong. It's freaking tiny though.

    Re: Kova Progression Thread

    I'm so stressed out. I have a 2.5 critter keeper, I couldn't use a heat light because it's too hot and the smallest uth is too big. I don't have any reptile heat tape so I'd have to order it which would take a while. I just really don't know what to do.

    Re: Kova Progression Thread

    Okay so I changed Kova over to the tub last night and what I ended up using was this four-gallon tub I found with a 1-5 gallon UTH and I think that works? The UTH is set at 90 and checking this morning right above the UTH is about 88 and the warm side is 74 and the cool side is 72 so I don't know how to make that any warmer without making the UTH warmer, does that make sense? Anyway, I saw her out this morning and she just explored for a little bit and then went back under the Aspen so I think that's good. Also, she eats tonight, it's been 5 days since she's last eaten, so do you think it's okay to offer tonight? Thanks.

    How'd you get her to eat?
