I can't do a pic now because I'm at work, but she's about 6-7 months old, ~3 feet, I don't have her current weight off the top of my head. She's in an exoterra 36"x18"x18" for now (planning on building her a big custom enclosure when she's larger) with belly heat and a che since the room is usually only 75. Substrate is aspen, she has two sturdy climbing branches, a big bowl to soak in if desired, a half log over the belly heat, and a little cave hide on the cool side. She spends most of her time in the log over the heat for 2-3 days after eating, then hangs out on the branches. She's never gone in the cool side hide, so I'm planning on removing it. She gets misted in the mornings to keep the humidity up (she does not like the spray bottle and will hide from it), temps are checked with temp gun against an accurite, uth is on a t-stat, che is on a manual dimmer set quite low (since I'm only trying to bring the air temp up 5 degrees). She was previously in a 20g long in the same spot, same stuff, just smaller.
She's a model citizen when I feed her, and once I get her out to hold her (after she poops, normally 2 days after eating), it's just this striking at people when they walk by, and occasionally when I reach in there that has us worried.
