Hello all, I had posted a bit ago that my Leo wasn't eating, found out the thermometer was broken and temps were WAY too cool, and she had gotten REALLY skinny (her tail was skinnier then her body GREATLY).

Well I made some adjustments, got a Under Tank Heater, moved her tank to a warmer room, got a better thermometer.

I did read that it can take some time to put weight back on, but I'm happy to say, she's putting weight back on and her tail, though it has a way to go, is getting thicker again, and her belly is also much fatter. I'm going through crickets like mad. SHe's not keen on mealies, but does enjoy wax worms.

Anyhow, just wanted to give an update. Thank you all for your help, this site is amazing.

Hello,

Thanks for the update! I am glad to hear that she is doing better. So where are the pictures? lol

Keep in mind her tail is still really thin, however, it's definately thicker then it was. So she's rebounding nicely. Sorry for the poor picture quality, I had my 8 month old trying to grab the camera.

Hello,

That poor leo! Thank god she has started eating. Do not be shy with the waxworms. If she wants them, give them to her. Give her as many as she wants. lol

I am really glad she has started eating. She was very close to dying with a tail that thin!
