It's definitely looking like a girl but done let that fool you, most start out looking like a girl. At 2 she's still a tad young

Hurrah for Bristol. I worked and lived there for many years.
Also I was born in Bridgwater, grew up near Cheddar and lived in Clevedon and Portishead before moving to Weston-super-Mare where I met wifey.
Love the area, though I may never return now.

I have her In around about a 3ft glass vivarium, but I'm going to be upgrading her enclosure very soon.
Do you keep her humid and not dry, and what temperature do you have at. What kind of foods does she like?

she has high humidity (the 80 to 90 range) and her temp is around 30C or 90F. she loves mushrooms and bananas but I rarely feed because I know too much is not good. I give her romaine, kale, red chard etc. nearly every day and give her fruit about 3 times a week.
You seem to know what you are doing with her. Do you give her anything for protein(meat) like cooked chicken. Some of mine like worms.

I give her cooked chicken and cat food as protein. I have tried worms but she doesn't seem to like them.
