Talking My new hoggie!

Well, I don't have an actual picture of her yet (didn't think about it while I had her out changing her enclosure). I purchased her almost two weeks ago from a breeder whom I'd sold my beloved Bearded dragon to about two years back. She is a normal 100% het toffee.

To start, I had her on paper towels and had quite a simple setup with a hot hide and a cool hide. She had been started on f/t pinkies with the breeder, but she has yet to eat for me. She had her first shed with me a few days ago and I offered the next day, no luck. I was reading a bit about how to make her feel more secure, so I picked up some shredded aspen and a fake plant and I redid her enclosure. I'm hoping that it will help her feel more secure so she will start eating for me. I'm going to be offering a pinky to her on Wednesday. Oh! And she is 8 grams right now, but has good body tone. She's a pretty girl. Hopefully she'll eat here soon so that I can finally get some proper pics haha.

Nevertheless! I figured I would snap some photos of her setup, since I had to change it. She has a mini reptitherm mat hooked to a JumpStart thermostat that maintains a pretty constant temp of 89-93 degrees. She also has a low-watt heat lamp that is helping with the humidity and also helps keep up the ambient temps (it gets pretty cold in my house). Anyway, here are the pics!


In my desperate attempt to get the humidity down (it was at about 88%; I do live in a very humid part of Florida), I went ahead and cut out a large rectangle in the lid (kept the sealing and locking part of the lid intact for security). Drilling holes in the tub just wasn't getting it.


Can you find her?


From the side.

Anyway, that's that. I also need a name for her! Any suggestions are welcome!
