    I was gonna suggest having someone help you but you got it figured out. Roe has been through enough today and just ate on top of it all

    Okay. That's fine.

    However, I would take Roe out if it's still well over 90F on the hot pad.

    Frankly, I would think she is better off not in the tank until you get things dialed in and safe.

    She refused food yesterday, right?

    I think the stress of having all the wonky temps is worse than just putting her in a container for an hour.

    I would make sure temps are proper, or at least safe, before putting her back in her tank.

    That's me.

    If your ambient temps and cool side temps are off by even close to what you said earlier, even if the hot mat is okay, you are going to have to do some adjusting.

    After today. Leave her alone until next feeding unless it's an emergency. If you have to take her out to clean, fresh water, etc. Do so very briefly and put her in something else, don't handle her for long.

    Anyone else want to chime in?

    I just wouldn't risk her getting hurt again while you adjust temps. What if the probe placement is different and now the heat pad reads 85F, once it cools. You will have to adjust upwards, and I wouldn't risk that until you know your system and tank really well.

    Even when I make thermostat adjustments, minor ones even, I check the temps regularly (like every 20 minutes) until everything has stopped moving and is dialed in.

    Re: Roe progression thread!

    Her heat mat right now is at 88°F. Should cool to about 85. Temps 90°F on hot and 83°F on cool. And no! She ended up eating yesterday. But she didn't strike, she grabbed it sometime last night. I'm cheaking every ten minates and her heat mad keeps cooling amd her temps are getting better. I think shes doing ok in her tank, she is behind her cool hide right now. If anything goes weird in hee tank, I can move her to a tub temporarily.

    Ahhh, okay, I missed that she ate after all. Awesome.

    Yeah, she needs the heat to digest, I get it.

    83F is a little high for the cool side, so see if you can gradually and slowly adjust that to 79-81F.

    90F on hot side is good, but I would get the heat mat to stay around 88-89F or so.

    What is ambient? Or does it range from 90-83F because it's a smaller and glass tank?

    Just be careful adjusting and as said earlier, leave her alone for a while to digest.

    I think once temps and humidity are dialed in, and you defrost the prey as discussed, without cooking it, you will have an awesome feeder!

    Good job getting everything safe again. I think you will be fine if you follow the checklist and make sure to breathe before changing anything! Deep breaths and calm thoughts = good decisions!

    Re: Roe progression thread!

    Quick update:
    I've checked at least 4 times (every time I go quietly to check being sure not to bother her) and the temps have pretty much stayed the same now! Here is everything

    Hot side: 90°F
    Ambient: 83-84°F
    Cool side: 81°F

    UTH is at 88°F.

    There was a small 2° change in the hot side but I got that fixed right up. Its going good!
