so just in caSE aNY one's interested-??
I took her to our local rep specialist chappy, who looked in her mouth and squoze her all over and listened to her heart and basically had a good ole prod of my poor sad girl, then said that she seems to be perfetcly healthy, but its possible she was developing a mild infection, so gave her a jab of a broad spectrum antibiotic (only cost me £1-22, bargain!)and if she's still not right after a week, she's to come back and have some blood tests.
SO we got home and her viv got a full and thorough clean, plus some new hides and climby furniture to give her something to do/think aBOUt, and then over the next couple of days she was clearly more herself: out and about exploring the new wood and tubes and stuff, and wiggling in and out of the new hides she's got.There's been none of that sulking under the heatmat, and no weird hiccuppy jerky nonsense.
Its now a week later and tonight I offered her a XL mouse; she SCOFFED that bugger down, and then had a small one for pudding! my girly seems to be all better- yay (and... double-yay- her appetite was back to a level where she was hungry enough to eat in a separate tub, where usually she tantrums about being taken out of her viv for dinner!!!
im so happy

thanks for the kind comment- I was quite amazed at how well these pics came out, cos i took them on my phone- so felt I really had to show off my girly somewhere, especially now she's perked up and was actually in focus!!
(it's very rare for me to manage that)

love yr new sig, btw
