I have a very closely watched and cared for silicate baby, Penelope. She is roughly six months old. I got her as a hatching at the beginning of October. She is in a 20 long that has a basking spot that's about 108, cool side is about 79. She has a humid hide box that stays around 82 all night. Her tank is kept about 78 percent humidity with hide box slightly over 80 percent. Starting Friday, she just seems a bit quiet. Spending quite a bit of time sleeping in her hide and eating less. The only change I have made is rather then getting spring mix, I grabbed dandelion greens and arugala from the store. She also gets Mazuri mixed with the grassland tortoise food several times a week.
She looks great, no blocked nostrils, no eye issues, no mouth breathing or clicking. No weakness, nice hard shell. Usually paces and begs for food.
I do use a uv tube light three days a week and she gets daily soaks. Her starting weight when I got her was 46 grams and she is now 260. Up from 209 three weeks ago. She is pooping and peeing normally.
I am worried something is up and wonder if a vet appointment should be made. She seems fine other then "quiet".
I would love some advice or input. Thank you!
