What are the dimensions of the tank? Sounds almost like a 50gal high, which wouldn't be suitable for a plated lizard. How much ground area is there?

20x10x17 1/2 and it keeps making this popping noise and skin falls off. Is that how they shed?

That's really strange... Mine sheds scale by scale, but there's no popping noise.
Also, 20 x 10 x 17.5 is a FIFTEEN gal, NOT a 50!! And it's a 15 gal high, too.
A plated lizard would need at least 2' x 3' x 2'... And even that is pretty small (but okay, because your lizard is still only 13"s).

I hear no popping sound coming from mine... in fact the only noise she makes is when she's mad at me, she breathes loudly (almost like a hiss) but that's it.
No, his spot should be 88F.
Also, you really, really need a bigger cage. He can't even turn around in a 20" x 10"!!

No problem!  Glad to have helped.
Well, I don't really know what the popping noise is :X Is it only when the scales come off? How often does it happen?

well I've only had her for 2 days and it happpened three times yesterday and twice today. And about the feeding I put her in my bathroom since its empty with no window in my basement then put few crickets in their and she ate a couple and she ate only 2 in the tank but only time she eats them is when your very still for like 10 minutes and they go by her. Why is that?

it is sort of a tearing sound when you pick her up? Or just popping sounds out of nowhere?
Mine won't eat when I watch her, and she will only eat mealies or waxworms... Try large mealworms in a bowl (dusted, of course), maybe she'll go for them. Oh, and leave her be for a few hours.

the popping comes out of nowhere and a piece of scales falls off. Ok I can try to leave her alone for awhile but I'm so excited and worried at the same time because I want her to be perfect and happy,will she get tamer the more I hold her or not?

Well, I really don't know about that popping sound... Maybe get her checked out by an exotics vet?
If you leave her be, she'll be a lot happier. First off, because she's stressed, and she gets more stressed when you're around her, and that can make her stop eating, stress out etc. And second, because female plateds don't tend to enjoy handling at all.
She will get a little tamer if you hold her, but I tried to tame mine down and it didn't work. Give it a shot, take her out once a day for a little while, and see if she improves after a little while.
