I was told by the lady who gave me her that she's had her for 9-10 years, and had a mate who died over the winter, so since then she's been by herself in an old fish tank (20 gallons.)
Right now I have her in a 20 gallon made for reptiles with paper towels, this is just until I can get her seen at the vet to make sure there's nothing I need to do with her before I get the 40 gallon set up with the right substrate at all that. Is there anything I should ask the vet about given what I know about her? Overall she looks healthy, a little bit of stuck shed on her toes on one foot, but I think that's something I can get off on my own. She doesn't look overweight, but it seems like she was just thrown a bag of crickets anytime they remembered to, so trying to get her set on a feeding schedule instead of just free feeding on crickets all day every day. I'm also trusting the lady who said she's female, I can't really hold her long enough to get a good look, she's already bit me once so I don't want to stress her out too bad just to see what sex she is, I figured that's something we can hold off for until we get to the vet. She definitely doesn't trust people or hands yet, but slowly and surely we'll get there eventually.
