    Just picked up a jump start last week and it's awesome and easy to use. Set it and forget it pretty much. Only thing I don't like about it is the cables coming out of the right beside where you plug your uth in. Only because of course I have 2 uth plugged into that one hole so I had to buy an extension cord bc I couldn't put my adaptor in the holes.

    It's ordered thank you

    Working out great so far. She wouldn't eat last week though and it looked like she was beginning to shed. Her eyes got milky and her skin pale but she never actually shed. Now it's a week later. Should I try to feed her again or wait until she does in fact shed. Humidity is between 50-85 between the hot and cool side, and she moves around back and forth between sides

    sounds like an upcoming shed to me. offer like you normally would, but don't be surprised if she refuses.

    try to keep that humidity around 70% throughout the shedding process. if you need help raising humidity get some sphagnum moss (found at almost any pet store) to wet and place in one of the hides.

    Some updates:

    Determined she's actually a Ghost, and not a Pastel. Bunch of tank updates too and she's doing great, aside from not eating the last couple months. Hopefully she'll start again soon.
