Hey everyone,
I need some help from those with experience out there. I hatched out some babies in September and all, but one is now gone. Each were eating good and looking great. I have one left over who I am holding for a friend of mine, but something is going horribly wrong.
She was looking rather skinny to me and all I had were these puny fuzzies, I managed to get my hands on a smaller sized hopper that was about the same size as her middle. She ate it no problem, but about a day later I found it regurged inside her bin in the hatchling rack. I don't know why this happened as it was only a small lump and should have been digested just fine. I went about feeding her again though the next week...this time giving just two small fuzzies to see what would happen. She ate them and didn't regurge, but she swelled drastically.
She is very squishy and bloated right now. I assumed she would use the bathroom, but it's been two weeks and she has only proceeded to pee. I attempted to feed her another two small fuzzies last night and today I find the both of them regurged! I -know- those are not too big for her to digest and she took two of them before....what could be the problem here?
Is this some sort of impaction? I feel nothing solid inside her though and down near the base of her tail through a flash light it's all liquid nothing solid until you go higher up. I need to know what might be going on, she will go to a vet either way, but any ideas?
As a side note, she is getting ready to shed and it will be her second one out of the egg. No mites, clean water, good temps, misted for humidity, and was doing fine until recently (besides worrying me and looking a bit skinny).
Here are pictures...
