    Sorry about the late reply, it's above the vent, it's hard and doesn't move when you press on it, it seems harder the colder she is too, and it doesn't bother her when you do touch it (if that means anything) and she only shed about 2 weeks ago and only had 2 feeds since (fed just before and last week) so it's highly unlikely she is coming up for a shed, I've been checking her daily it hasn't seemed to of gotten any bigger yet, I hope this has helped Cheers Daniel

    Has she pooed since her two feeds? Was she basking under heat after her feeds.

    If not she may be constipated, this can happen if there body can't acquire enough heat to help digest.

    But also it could be a number of other things but hope she's fine.

    she pood after her first feed but I only fed her last night so it will take a few days before she will poo again, she only really sleeps in the hide that's above the heat mat So she's always quite warm when I get her out so i don't think shes constipated
    And thankyou me too she hasn't showed any signs of being sick
    Cheers Daniel
