    heat emitter

    i'm so excited

    yeah, she seems fine. except for the fact that she hesitated to eat from my hand. since i got her, she's always grabbed food right out of my hand. & she even jumped when i touched her. i just don't think the girl played with them that often. but she seems real healthy.

    not eating as much

    we haven't been keeping our environment too moist cause before we got her, our redfoot had developed shell rot from bedding that was too moist. she couldn't walk in result of too long without sunlight. she had grown really weak. she's still recovering from that so we don't want to moisen it too...

    not eating as much

    yes, they are housed together. we had them in a rather large enclosure outside so they rarely crossed paths, now it's a little tighter. i have a (i'm guessing on age) 3 year old red foot & a 10 month old leopard. we're not sure of the temperature in the enclosure cause it's our first winter...
