40 Gallon tank, 100 watt heat lamp, 10%UVB/30%UVA Lamp
Currently about 90 degrees and 48% humidity under lamp where her hammock is and where she spends majority of her time.
About 72 degress and 64% humidity on the right end where her water is. I'm located on the west coast where its been raining daiy and about 56 outside this season. Usually around 68 in my home.
Background: Adopted her from my job at a daycare. They think she may be around 2 years old. Her diet consisted only of the bearded buffet pellets and some spinach here and there and sometimes other greens and fruit if the center had. Didn't get taken out too often and whole tank was not cleaned, just her food and water dishes here and tehre.
Currently: She rarely wants crickets if I bring them, and last two batches I got she didn't want them at all. Will eat a hornworm once in a blue. Diet is mostly chopped kale and flukers buffet blend which i dust with calcium now. Loves being in her water bowl. Just laid her first egg a week ago and it was yellow and squishy, so started dusting all her food with calcium. No more eggs and haven't noticed her straining to push any. Seems a bt stressed as shes been clawing at her enclosure. But I may just be hyper aware as I am home from work sick with covid. I have been letting her out to roam when possible. I'd eventually like to get her a bigger tank but can't afford it at the moment.
