I have been force feeding once she hit a year without eating. I offer regular food every week. I force feed once every 2 months. I use a heat mat that is monitored with a repti-temp 5000R. Right now humidity is 57% and temp is 84. Yes she has but it is some weird word. (i dont remember lol) currently i dont have a way too take a picture but once i get my new phone (later today) i will.... Thanks
A lot of us provide a heat gradient-- a 90-92F hot spot and an 80-82F cool end. It might be worth trying out a gradient to see if she likes it better than one constant temperature.
