By the way, she does stick around the platform for a while sometimes, so she doesn't completely avoid it, but she won't curl up under the emitter or anything. I half-expected her to bask under it like snakes will do in the wild, hanging out on a rock under the sun. Maybe I'm overthinking it.

Another question: I just noticed she's going opaque. Just the blue eyecaps for now. This must have started sometime yesterday, after she disappeared into her hide. It's not going to be very humid in the tank, maybe 50% or so (I don't have a hygrometer in there, as no one seems to recommend it). The boa gets misted twice daily to keep the humidity up in his tank, but Buffy doesn't.

Should I mist the cage lightly once every couple of days to help her along?
