Hello,
Ok we have a new AFT that my 11 year old wanted to get/rescue desperately. We have had "Boo" for exactly one week. Now during that time she has not eating anything and her poop is white/green. We tried to feed her crickets, dubia roaches and no luck, even tried to hand feed her.
She has been in her humid hide most of the time and she would wonder around at night, but not for long. We have her on Eco-Earth (same stuff she has been on for the past 6 months) and some ceramic tile.
The UTH is under the tile and the humid hide is on the tile with Eco-Earth inside. Another hide on the cool side. The tile floor is about 93 *F and the humid hide is 85*F and the cool side is 78*F.
Yesterday she shed, I must admit it was kinda cool to watch. She had some difficulty getting it all off, so we soaked her in warm water and helped her remove the rest from her toes and under her tail.
Well, this evening when I picked her up to check for more shed it seemed like she was shivering. Her head and feet were shaking very rapidly, but not moving much at all. When we put her back in her VIV she seemed to be yawning. I was changing her water and my son freaked out and said, she just spit something out. Well, to my surprise it was the shed she had eaten.
I know they are docile and easy going, but she seems kinda lethargic. After removing the shed ball I noticed a silver looking bug inside the enclosure...not sure what it is, but I will post some pictures. I will post some pictures in a bit.
