Answer
Hello Kristine,

What type of lighting are you providing Mary Jane?  Do you use UVB lighting & if so, what type & brand are you using?  Is it a florescent tube bulb or a compact/coil light?  The brand should be stamped on the base somewhere for you to see.

What type of basking light do you use, a bright white one or a colored one?  What type of thermometer do you use, a stick on type, a digital probe or a temp gun?  What are the temperatures in the tank & what is the humidity?

Do you supplement any calcium on a regular basis?  Which vitamins do you use, what brand is it?
The diet should be a little more diverse.  The kale is "ok" but, not great as a staple.  It is higher in oxalates than other greens & oxalates bind calcium to decrease the absorption of calcium which can cause nutritional deficiencies.  

Can you post a picture of her for me?
