I'm really happy I was able to take her out of the environment she was in. She lived in a 55 gal with bark chips, a couple hides, fluorescent light, and a basking bulb. She looked like a mummy. Couldn't even see the red in her tail. But now she looks a lot better. I think she still has some stuck shed on the bottom of her neck and the top of her head, but for some reason it doesn't seem like it wants to come off. I don't know if it just loose skin from her being so skinny, or if it is old shed. I'm gonna take some pics so you guys can see what I'm talking about. This is my second rescue, but my first wasn't anything like this...He was a little underweight not like this though. I picked her up yesterday just to make sure shes doing ok and she seems just from that one meal that regained a lot of strength. Her body was very flimsy and she couldn't keep good control over her muscles but now she seems a little more stiff. I really can't wait to see her back to her old self and how she SHOULD look. But with her great attitude and her awesome feeding response we should be there in no time.
