    She is currently in a 30 gal long terrarium glass enclosure. I have kept several balls like this and never had an issue, but I also raised them all from babies. Also I am going to build a new enclosure for her and my male, because the wife wants these to be "on display" so to speake.

    I have an ambient temp of 82-84 on the cool end, and a hot spot of 88-90 on the hot end. She has a half log hide, and a huge water dish. Humidity is 33-35%, she drinks all the time. I am using a under the tank heating pad at the cool end to keep it between 82-84 and a ceramic bulb at the other for the 88-90 temp, not ideal, but it is a glass enclosure. When they get into their new homes they will be living the high life with some flexwatt tape!!

    I am not scared of her, I used to have a really agressive bp that a friend gave me, and he mistook my hand many times. Kind of funny really, he would bite, and then be as placid as every once you got him up.

    Anyways, I will post a pic tonight when I get home from work.

    Thanks,

    first thing you should do is move the UTH to the hot side. she has no place to thermoregulate if you have heat on both ends. also you should try to keep you humidity above 50% try to keep it around 60% at all times unless she is in blue, then id raise it to 70% or more for that time.

    also try feeding her a mouse, and try it in the enclosure. she wont think you are food.

    btw cover 3/4 of the screen lid with aluminum foil and ceran wrap (sp?) to help heep humidity. obviously leave the open portion on the hot side for the heat lamp.
