    I'd check your husbandry. If she just ate and is still roaming, I'd say there's something else that's not to her taste about her setup. How recently did she eat?

    Re: Feeding problems

    Okay so last time she ate was September 23rd. I fed her a frozen and she took it. she was fine and 5 days later began the roaming again. She i went to feed her on sunday using the same preparation method as last time and nothing. I went to feed her on the monday and nothing. She is roaming climbing up the sides of the tank and burrowing all that jazz. I have a cold and hot side both with identical hides. The temps are perfect 87 hot and 77 cold ... it varies depending on when i have the lights on room temp etc. What i dont understand is how she ate fine last week and now she won't. I prepared it the exact same way. Any thoughts?

    Your temps are still too low. I keep my hotspot at 92, cool side around 80. Perhaps her hunger overcame the cool temps, or maybe you had a spell of warmer days that gave her the proper temps. I can't remember, but what heat sources are you using? And what type of thermometer and thermostat?

    What type of thermometers are you using and where are they placed?

    Maybe try what others have suggested and bump the heat up a little bit, wait a week and try to feed again.

    Your temps may be skewed by placing them inside the hides. Do you by chance have a temp gun? Or know what the ambient temps are?
