Taco was eating a storm up to about a week ago...I gave her some avocado and since then has not been eating as much. Still eating but she used to beg for food. Now she will eat half of what I give her and then lay over her light or hide in her log. I am in California so I am just thinking its the weather or time of year. Anyone have any ideas of what it might be so that I don't worry?

What does the rest of her diet consist of? My Russian, who lives in Chicago, cold and snow, is eating up a storm.
Be sure the basking spot is over 85, if they can't digest properly, they will eat less or not at all.
