Major temp problems!!!
Okay, I am having major problems with Sezy's (my bp) temperatures. Here's what I have:
On her hot side, the temperature of the UTH is at 98F. I have about 3/4 inch layer of shredded aspen as substrate. The thing is, the temperature on top of the aspen is reading at 75.5F. I can just image what the air temp is...
Her cold side is reading at (on top of the aspen) 68F. Waaaaaay too cold! I tried a lamp, but that doesn't do much.
I don't want to raise her UTH any more, cause I feel that if she burrows a bit, she could burn herself. My humidity is at 60%, which is fine, no problems there. I really don't know what to do!
I got Sezy about 2 weeks ago, she ate after the first week with me, and I tried feeding her this week, no take. So I'm thinking she is stressed with the temperatures. Now, here's my other problem:
I have a corn snake in my room, and her temps are fine. I'm thinking I should move Sezy into my room, where its warmer in here. The room she's in now is actually quite cool, but it's the only room I could put her in to quarantine her. But I feel that it is pretty useless having her there if she's freezing. Should I move her into my room, even though it hasn't been a month since getting her? She seems completely healthy; no mites or RI as far as I can see. I don't want my corn snake getting sick from her, but Sezy seems fine. Should I move her here to raise her temps?
Thanks so much in advance!
