Thanks so much for your replies
I will start with the fecal -let her get settled in-and go from there
She was hugging the uth last night when i last looked at her but earlier she had been about and about exploring the changes in her tank
I love the way that she acts like she is gonna eat me when i picked her up to inspect her and take the pics
The guy was in the store buying crix for her before he even approached me and i get the feeling that they might have just dumped that many in with her once a week or maybe even once every 2 weeks-i think that was the way that she had been fed
She had a small piece of shed attached to her nose but it appeared that the rest of her last shed went well so we'll see what the fecal test results bring
