| hmmm... are there any other things that might be stressing her? like lots of noise around her etc? Other than that I can't think what could be wrong so would recommend taking her to the vets... |

Cant think of anything else that could b stressful for her she has not been handled for two weeks, i have draped a towel over the front of the viv so when we walk passed it doesnt cause any stress.
Im using a dial thermometer on the side of viv about an inch above the heat mat.

| how is the stat set? to the temp on the dial or the temp on an accurate thermometer placed on top of the substrate above the heatmat? cos it needs to be the latter! |

reason i bathed her was thought she might be a little constipated as for handling only time she has been handled was to move her to a seperate viv so i could clean her viv.
Taking her to vet this afternoon to get her checked, will let you know how we get on, many thanks to everyone. |
