Hi there,

had my little teg for 9 days now and she's starting to calm down a bit I think. I've still not tried handling her yet. Now the only thing she's eating is GAL's (Giant African Land Snails) which have the shells crushed for her as she can't seem to break into them other wise.

Now I'm curious, I can't imagine a small amount of fruit/veg and Snails being a great diet for her - She's apparently an CB '08 and she's around 12" long (nose to tail) Is there anything I can do to settle her down and get her trying more foods and eating more? I was told that tegs are mega eaters and so far she's barely eating anything at all...

Thanks,

Oh heres some pictures of her:
