Update: So, the greens went bad- within a couple of days of buying them and storing them in the vegetable crisper. So, today, this morning, I grabbed new greens.
I fed her some turnip greens and red bell pepper. She is picky. She doesn't like being watched. I left with my mom for a few hours...
Zoomed's Repti Basking lamps on its way right now. In the meantime, I'm using a vibrant life 100 watt basking bulb. (I ran into an emergency and my local petstore was closed.) So, I ran into Walmart and got a basking bulb.
Update: Chewy's replacement arrived. Just put it on. I also ordered a new basking bulb too because I learned that UVA may be impacted too. So, I ordered two basking bulbs. It still heats the basking spot so that's ok.
Update: She's madddddddddddd....And I mean maddddd because I went out today and didn't give her extra bugs or greens. And she's running around her tank...
Correction: The uvb is 8 months old. I just found out when I ordered it. It was ordered in December 2025.
I will contact Chewy. It was 8 months old. Not six months. It's pretty close enough to change. But I will let them know that the bulb is faulty.

The new bulb is from Carolina Custom Cages on Amazon, which is a small business. I do support small businesses. The last bulb I...
I've got very good news. Leia ate all of her greens. Seems the T8 is working and the T5 10.0 has stopped emitting UVB completely. (Nope, I'm not using both at the same time. I turned off the T5 and am using the T8.)
She ate all of the red peppers and turnip greens this morning. That gives me...
Well, she ate some bugs this morning. Snubbed the salad with her customary yellow squash. Said hello to eating her some of her greens and red peppers.
My thoughts are- the bugs eat the greens, and the greens are passed on to her through gutloading.
Not obstructed at all. I can't wait for the T5 to get here. Next time, I'll buy it from my local pet store. I didn't know it'd take at least a week to get here through Amazon. I'm used to 2-3 day delivery.
