At this past reptile show in Cleveland, I decided to pic up a 1200 gram (empty) female normal to add to my future breeders. I was told she produced 6 eggs in the past (i'm assuming this past breeding season). My question for you is...is it normal for a mature female to go off food after being moved? I have heard they often times won't lay after being moved. It will be three weeks this sunday and I've offered food every Sunday since the show. She just has no interest in feeding.
She is in a 32qt tub w/ a fairly snug hide and a 5" water bowl. Temps are 92-95 on the hot side with an ambient temp of about 78-82. Humidity averages between 60-70 percent.
Am I doing anything wrong or does she just need some time? It may be importand to mention that she does not get handled at all. I'm not concerned with her weight yet, but I would like to have an idea as to what's going on.
opinions are appreciated!
