    Ok thanks all, I do truly appreciate the input,

    I will take care of this ASAP… I have adjusted the temps andremoved the faulty thermostat that I had for almost a year, now I have a Vivthermostat that has been regulating my temps more accurately. I have raised thelight to reduce the cooler side of the tank…her redness has faded sens the post. took me about a week to get it written and post the pics due to school and work but she is still a ilttle red.

    I use a biometric needle thermometerand a digital 1... I have like 4 differ thermometers/ hydrometers inside hertank to try to have a good base for my ambient temps and humidity that are measuringdiff spots of the tank. I more recently got the temp gun to reduce the ritualof getting the bottom of the tank’s temp and changed all the bedding. Just newcoco husk – now that this is not my issue and I have identified my problem.


    The probe that should have been fastened or super secured(as it is now) was not secured to the probe to the bottom of the tank. I believeher shed... her moving around moved the probe from its position and let the UTHtemp go up. I have now taken care of this issue now and have kicked myself foreven thinking something as stupid as a morph over anything else. Her being a whitesnake was all I was in “awe” of and like “what if”, so I do apologize for that.Now that I have embarrassed myself, I will be more attentive to her situations andlooking forward to her recovery.

    Far as breeding… for both my snakes (which are for the100000xs time NOT A MATING PAIR, my male is my little brother’s snake I boughtcause he liked the spider morph) my project is on a hold until next year due tocurrent situations and age of my snake. I am working on just prioritizing her 1stas she has been for the time I’ve had her, again I thank you all for yourassistance in this matter and to avoid this again I would advise securing theprobes properly as I was unable to do. Now time to just pray for the speedy andfast recovery of my baby. Her Apt. is next week so I will let you guys know howshe makes out.

    so good to hear you've corrected your mistakes. i'm hoping this means the thermostat probe is outside of the enclosure now, sandwiched between the bottom and the UTH.

    it's good you're going to focus on her husbandry and care, as we can get so caught up in future potential we overlook what's happening in the present. you made a mistake and your snake suffered from it. you seem to have accepted this, learned, and are moving forward. good!!! :gj:

    truly mastering husbandry is a rewarding practice and skill, and i feel it's how i can actually "bond" with my snakes; mastering their husbandry and genuinely understanding their needs and what they tell me.

    keep us updated on her vet visit! :)
