Hi all!!! I am thrilled to report that Scarlet is doing much, much better!!! I followed the advice you guys gave me, and brought her out pretty much every day. Or sometimes just shuffle up her bedding just enough, and give the tank a little mist After just a couple of times she would go in the water by herself! Though it has taken a lot of nudging on my behalf to wake her up, I am beginning to notice more and more often that she is out and about all on her own! And on Sunday evening, for the first time ever, she ate a (defrosted) pinkie mouse!! She has never showed any interest before, and this time, she literally ate it in one big bite!! So I gave her another and she ate it too!!! It really is such a good feeling, slowly but surely she is getting there! THANKS everyone!!!!!!!!
