    Thank you all so much! :P I feel pretty welcome here with my new girl! You were all super helpful with questions I had about her and everything!
    (temps at 92.5*F *sigh* oh well, I tried to lower them a bit. Humidity is still at 73%. IS that okay? It seems too high...
    The cool side is at 75.2*F... seems too cool to me...
    Right now she's hanging out on top of her hide, head resting on her waterdish. Hopefully she'll start actually going UNDER her hide eventually. XD But I've only had her for about 4 hrs, so I won't freak out over anything right now.
    (92.1*f on hot side! Seems good there, IMO, but I'd like it to stay around 90-91)

    Oh, she also has this really BEAUTIFUL belly pattern! I couldn't get a good pic of it yet though.
    I need to keep a log of her weight/length/temperment/ect...
    I don't have a digital scale yet though I do have a food scale that measures ounces that I can convert into grams on the computer, but it's not digital either.
    It should work for now. When would be an appropriate time to pull her out and measure/weigh her?

    After the first week of getting her settled. Some say dont mess with her until she eats also but I usually just wait the week to handle, weigh, measure, then try to get them on the feeding schedule.

    Alright, thank you, Jedi! I'll do that.
    Is 75.4*F too cool for the cool side? Hotside seems to be holding at 91*F, humidity 72% still, no condensation. She looks like she might be sleeping on top of her hide and on her water bowl. She's partway on her heat pad too it looks like, so that's good. :3
    I should be ordering a hydrofarm thermostat too. I'm using the cardboard-foil-heatpad technique right now. It seems to be working fine. I can't wait until I get a hydrofarm though. >.> Dimmers are more work to keep an eye on and keep adjusting so the temps are good.

    Just hang in there and let that heat circulate. It should get your cool side heat up to about 80, that's where you want it. When I first set up Memphis's tub the hygrometer only read my humidity as "HI" and then it registered to 51% later the next day, so hang in there.
