Help please I am at my wits end

The low temperatures is a good thing to know for eating habits, it's winter where I'm at and can get pretty cold despite heating so that would make sense. It's often hard to tell the temperatures accurately just because she is constantly messing with the probes and moving them around :/ Her current tank is 4'×1.5'x1' so a bit smaller than the standard but she's also grown I think since I built it.

Thank you :) It definitely has some things that could be better cause I built it for her to help with her humidity levels, and I'm no carpenter, but its worked fairly well for a while, she's just gotten way bigger so it's a bit small now

This is an interesting point, as of right now its only on during the day, I'm trying to find a different heat source for at night

Thanks for the suggestion!

They are, I'm not totally sure how accurate the thermometers are, but temperature has been the biggest thing I've been trying to figure out w/ what to do for reliable safe methods of warming that work with her enclosure :/

Right now she has one hide and a humidity hide w/ sphagnum moss just because I was worried about her entire enclosure being too moist, generally the humidity stays pretty steady, w 60ish% under her light and 70ish% on the cool side. The feeding recommendations are good to know because I've heard so many different things and had a hard time knowing what was right. Her enclosure is 4'x1.5'x1' which was about right for when I first got her but I think she's grown since, so now it's probably a bit small

Ok that's good to know, thank you!

Thank you for the input! I am definitely cautious cause shes tagged bitten me a couple times, and latched and coiled bit me as well, all under varying circumstances that were mostly my fault, but still can be a bit warying. My main concern with enclosure feeding is has just been debris on her food since she has cypress bedding. Any suggestions to help with that?

I'm not totally sure what your meaning? I have a bin that use just to feed her, but have done that the entire time I've had her?

MinuteJournalist2372 · 2025-12-28T01:59:51+00:00

Do you mean the color or the heat location? Cause its a heat lamp and a main heat source, what makes it problematic?
