    Took a few quick pictures of Dr. Jones and her setup. If you have any comments, feel free. Just a note-- the temps and humidity shown were both low because I'd had the cage open for cleaning and water change and such. They're normally at the levels I mentioned above.

    Dr. Jones, with a yard stick for reference (she weighed in at 1,402g today):

    Her crib:

    And her in her cage, for size comparison:

    Just a note-- The light in the cage is generally off. I turned it on hoping to help with the pictures, though I'm not sure it was that effective. Whatever.

    And yes, that is a UPS for battery backup. My girl gets nice equipment :)

    It looks pretty good... maybe change the substrate to aspen and put some faux plants in there? These animals do like clutter and security... If your temps are how you say they are though, she might have just gone off feed.

    Re: New snake won't eat...help *UPDATE*
    We had her tank at perfect levels thanks to all the advice here. We didn't handle her too much and didn't for 2 days before a meal. We got her a f/t rat, fed in her enclosure and still didn't eat :( Next week it is a live rat I guess. I sure hope she eats this b/c I do not want a pet rat! It's been a known 3 weeks without a meal. We just aquired our spider and pastel a week ago. Our spider ate, the pastel was interested but wouldn't take it. I was looking on her feed chart from the breeder and he just started her on f/t the past 2 feedings so maybe we need to do a live again then go back to f/t. Anyways, just wanted to let you all know what was going on and thanks again for all your suggestions! We'll keep trying to get our normal to take a meal!
