Think I'm about to lose my B vagans

Quick update. Singe has made the enclosure her own, burrowed under the bark and blocked me out. Won't bother her with the door closed. Just unusual as she doesn't normally burrow since she's gotten larger. Hoping she is fine. If I don't see anything in a week I'll peek.

Thanks hun really hopeful. Know it's just a vagans common as can be. But it's 'my' vagans so I'm seriously trying everything.
Common as or not, they are our pets, we love them all the same, keep up the good work. Looking better and hopefully as per one of yur earlier posts, things are on the up for you now. ☺

I'm glad she's doing better :) B. vagans was my first T so i know what you mean. Mine burrows during premolt now so maybe Singe is going to molt soon? First thought i had is something in her old enclosure wasn't to her liking, we'll probably never know what, but now that she's doing well in the new one it makes sense to me ;) Hopefully she'll be all well and good in her new home.

That's what I'm hoping too. Figured out she only blocked half her entrance. She was lieing there with her toes out so going to pick her up a couple crickets tomorrow as she still likes them better then dubia :)

Maybe its a vagans thing..mine was bold when she was small, now shes 4-5 inches and hates to come out of her hide. They're certainly more skittish and secretive then other Brachys, in my experience.

I'm so sorry Kymura. It's a huge shame to lose someone you care about human or animal. I know my collection hasn't felt exactly the same since I lost my chameleon back in February :( if it's any consolation it doesn't sound to me like she's suffering.

I don't believe she is, since I moved her shes been more active, hoping she might be trying to molt as shes blocked herself away,
if so, that might set her back right .

Singe opened her burrow, looks like absolute hell, really thin
BUT she pulled it off and managed to molt!
cross fingers for me guys that this time all her innards are as they should be !!
Everything crossed for you hun. I hope she pulls through. Hugs from over the pond will hopefully help x

Alright. This has honestly been an uphill battle. Was beginning to think My Singe was really a rosea in disguise. Been offering food on a regular basis.... Nothing.
But tonight !
FINALLY!!
Apologies for the bad pic, it's through her enclosure
