[QUOTE="CrypticSpider, post: 71700, member: 17"] 15 years with Vanessa, plus she was an adult when she was acquired. I think this alone would rule out a mature male. There is no telling of her age, but gotten as an adult plus 15 years may mean it is her time to go. Another possibilty is that she may be gearing up to molt but is not feeding to fill up her reserves. As old as she is... being thin may even be better for her if/when she molts. As was mentioned above, she seems well taken care of... all one can do is care for her as normal, and wait. I would, however, offer her a prey once a week. My porteri will fast til near ready to molt, and will suddenly feed well about 2 weeks before she molts. She is beautiful, Vanessa... I wish her well, and hugs for you. :) [/QUOTE]
