Here is my crazy Aussie desert girl. U. hoplurus
Is she getting fat? I've had her for 4mths, never bred her. She seems to be getting a bit chunky and strange patches on her as per pics.
Can the experts in here let me know what you see? If anything?
In what conditions are you keeping this (temperature, humidity, substrate, etc.)? It looks just fine from the photos, perhaps just a bit dusty. Do you know the environment from which it was found (I'm guessing it was wild-caught)? Just replicate these for the enclosure. Who knows, it could be gravid (it doesn't appear to be, but...).
She was wild caught in a semi arid environment so I'm told. I have her enclosure half sandy and half peat, loads of substrate to burrow in (though she never does) and it's humid but not as much as my tropicals enclosure.
She loved landscaping her enclosure, but not burrowing. She has a good sized water dish she just loves cleaning herself in and has been known to just chill with her back end in it. She's quite a character.
