I don't cook any of the squash..I use yellow squash and sometimes acorn but right now they prefer the yellow squash and zucs.
I've noticed she goes for anything white or yellow, so I sprinkled some cooked squash over top of the greens. Cooking worked in my favor, because at first the only items that would stick to her tongue were the greens. After the first bite she stopped and looked at me as though I had committed an act of betrayal. With no crickets in sight, she begrudgingly continued eating. I could have leapt for joy! 
Be careful on carrots too much can lead to vit A toxicity. take a look at the links for food in the general care link and they tell you how often things should be fed..
She's getting some nice coloring going on so that's great! Keep us posted on how things go..
she took her first real steps today, back legs and all. It took a lot of energy, and few things motivate her to move, but she chased a cricket across her 10 gallon feeding enclosure, while lifting her whole belly off the ground! I'm so proud right now!!
Awesome news!
WOW that is some black beard!!! dang!!She displayed a very black beard on the way home to let me know just how unhappy she was. Frankly, I wasn't that fond of him either.
I know, I've never seen her so dark! She definitely gets her point across! I never have to wonder what kind of mood she's in, or if she wants something.
solid reptile vets are a rare and endangered breed...

I wasn't impressed with this vet. He was able to run the tests I wanted, except for blood work to check her vitamin and mineral levels. After seeing how he handled her, I didn't trust him to take a blood sample. I had a few questions and gave my current hypothesis, and he responded with "yep, that sounds about right, I'm sure it's nothing". ...dude. seriously vet man? You don't have opinions? Alternative explanations? Sentient thoughts? Let's just hop on the noob bandwagon! Thankfully the receptionist, in a very quiet voice, told me about a vet that was with them 19 years and had very happy reptile clients and owners. He moved to a different practice and is an hour away, but if he's as good as she said, it's well worth the travel. He also does group discounts for individuals like me with 13 snakes and 2 beardies
When Simon did I was amazed how jet black he got lol Such amazing critters!! 
that really sucks when you pay good money to see a vet that's supposed to be good with reptiles!! Well I hope that you go and see the other vet as yes they are hard to find sometimes which is really surprising with reptiles becoming more and more popular.. Trust your gut and I don't think I'd have him run bloodwork either.. With the improvements that she's made with you she is on the right track..Good greens, good supplements, good feeders that are nice and gut loaded with stuff she may not eat much of yet, good UVB, outside time, and lots of TLC and she's got alot going for her already!!
whenever I walk into the reptile room she scratches at the glass, and climbs right into my hands when I open her enclosure. Then she's off!
