I was 2g off of my prediction! We almost made 118. She is progressing very nicely. I added watercress, mustard greens, and dill to her diet yesterday. I don't think she cares too much for the dill. It appears that she has some new growth rings coming in and they look like they are coming in smooth. At least I think so.

I try to keep her diet as varied as much as I can with various grass clippings, weeds, and broad leaf greens. I add one or two pellets of mazuri to her food also. I soak 2-3x a day. I keep the humidity 80+ and temps 80-85 and basking 95-100f.

I've had a rough week so I forgot to get all measurements.

I think she's gorgeous, even though a bit humiliated atop that cup! She's thinking "wait til I'm big...I'll show him!"
She did actually show me that day. The ended up getting upset with me because I couldn't take photos fast enough so she threw herself off three cup in an attempt to rebel. I caught her and had to coach her on her negative behavior. She scolded me in return and refused to let me take any more photos. I caved and gave her a good meal afterwards.

Hmph! I thought you did this for a living! Sure doesn't sound like the actions of a behavioral specialist to me. Whole thing could have just been said "I caved". That's what I say every time there is a battle of wills in my house, and there are many. [emoji848][emoji23]

Lol agreed! I don't usually cave in general, but with nyx it's hard not to. She is still a baby so I can get a way with it for now ;)

Thank you! I often wonder if there is some happiness in there.
