And later tonight, after replacing the 100W basking light with a 25W basking, bringing the temperature on the hot side down to 38-40C, Breeze, the lady (with an attitude!) sat basking to her heart's content.

I thought she was dehydrated because of the skin folds, and she looks like she lost some weight, as I could feel her ribs under the skin, when I picked her up. She had a couple of mealworms (dusted and gut loaded) soon after we came home, and I have been trying to drip water on her nose. She did lick two or three times, but then turned her head away.
I don't know whether these were the right things to do? Your opinions on how she looks?
Late afternoon we tried to give her some crickets, but alas, she wasn't even interested! Those two are still jumping around in her house. She had another two mealworms, but no greens/veg, and definitely no crickets.
At the petshop they were four ladies in an enclosure, and were fed crickets, veg and pellets.
She seems to have already grown fond of Adam, because she'll come to the window if he sits down in front of her, but if I come closer, she goes to her branch or rock to bask!
She is definitely a cutie.
