Here's her tank

Ok -- when she basks on the hot side how long does she bask for? I see the UVB is in the tank -- and its a new bulb-- has she ever been tested for parasites? this can cause lack of eating - when she poops is it real runny and stink so bad you can smell it out of the room ? With her not eating get a weight on her now weigh in grams kitchen food scale -- keep track of it - she is of good weight so its not going to hurt her to lose weight but we dont want her to continuously to lose weight either -- it could be shes going thru a spell of not being hungry they will do that -- have you tried mixing the insects up giving different things for her to eat - have you tried super worms or any kind of treat worm?

Ok keep offering her food watch the weight and see what she does - I am thinking its relocation stress at this point

I don't know - it happens could be the weather - she is going thru relocation stress- babies do the same thing - eat like mad then back off- what keeps them eating is their basking temps and uvb and your are on par-
