    in the corner
    For approx the last two day my bp just been in one corner of her cage. She did eat this morning. So thats got me thinking that I have her one side too hot/humid for her. What do u guys think? My temperature says it's around 82 degrees and about 80 percent humidity. That gauge is in the middle of the tank and closer to the top.

    Your hot spot is 82 degrees? That's actually a little low for a hot spot, I keep mine around 88 to 90 for the hot spot and the cool spot 82 to 84. Your humidity is a little high too, if you have something covering the top you may want to let it air out a little. Mine is usually right around 60%.

    What is the temp on the hot spot? How are you measuring the temp on the hot spot? 80% humidity is too high unless they are going into shed, otherwise needs to be about 50-60%.

    Humidity is too high and you are not measuring your temps where you should, you should get a reading at the floor level with a digital thermometer.

    If you are using those dial hygrometer / thermometer your reading could be way off.

    thank you all.. I know what I did wrong with the humidity but how can I get the heat up in the hot spot when I got the under the tank heater and the heat lamp goin in it that's about as far as goes 82 degrees? Going to buy a different gauges and hoping the one I got is wrong.

    After you get a proper temperature reading, you can experiment with different wattages of light bulbs.

    I can bet your readings are wrong. And your hot spot is much hotter.

    Unless your room is 60 you likely have wrong temp readings
