AnswerHello Claire,
What type of heating are you using for her? Are you using an undertank heater along with a low wattage basking light on one end? She needs a hot spot of around 88-90 on one end with a cooler end of around 80 on the other side.
Do you have a moist humid hide on the warm end also?
I think that you need to get a fecal done on her, as it sounds like she has parasites or worms based on the fact she has no appetite & she is losing weight as well. That is a huge sign of parasites.
Does she eat very well, & are you supplementing calcium as well, 5 times per week?
Can you post a picture of her?
