As some may know, my girl just came off a 6-month fast in April and has only recently started eating again. We moved her into our new apartment yesterday and got her all set up. 40-gal tank, UTH and great bulb hooked to thermostats, basking 90° yada yada. You know the drill for that. Well, my question was how soon should I feed her? She hadn't eaten for about 5 days before the move, but I've heard you want to wait like a week because of stress. She didn't seem stressed. In fact, since her tank hadn't really changed, she seemed pretty well-adjusted. The first thing she did was take a drink of water, a quick look around the tank, and then sleep. Would it be fine to stay on schedule or should I skip a feeding anyway?
