i have a female lace monitor roughly 3 years old that has decided she doesnt want to eat , she has always been a bit of pain with her eating compared to my varanus gouldii , but now she hasnt eaten for 2 weeks, im not overly worried because 2 weeks isnt that long for a healthy sized monitor but still alert to to it. she is still very active and doesnt seem any different apart from the not wanting to eat, she is still very much alert.

her basking spot is around the 50c mark ( surface temp of rock, not ambient)
cool side is roughly 20c

any thoughts on the whole situation ?

Thanks.
 
Hi, when was the last time she was gravid? I think you could raise the basking surface temp another few degrees (up to 55c or so) and can you show a few photos of the enclosure?
 
i wasnt aware she would get gravid without a male, are you saying she will lay non-fertile eggs ?
ok will bump the temps up, sorry for ****ty pics

the enclosure is 2000x2000x1500mm . not ideal but unable to put her outside atm.
