This is Susanna (at least we think she's a girl). She was found roaming the AL woods several years ago by my husband. I have no idea how old she is, I believe we have had her for about 5 or 6 years.
The advice we were given by a reptile expert does not seem to match up with what I have been reading of recent. She has been raised mostly on kale and collards. I am trying to switch her to grass but she is very unimpressed with dried grasses. She used to be in a huge snake aquarium thing and recently we started letting her roam around our den and she does seem happier, but I can't get her to spend any time under her UVB light.
My major concern is her shell pyramiding and that she doesn't seem to be the size that she should be...
So, I was looking for advice on diet, lighting, keeping her during winter (we live in NH), soaking etc.
