I will be going out tomorrow to find a UTH or two and should be able to bump up the warm end temps then. Is air temp or floor temp more important to gauge? I'll also be looking for better monitoring equipment for heat and humity. I'll have a better way to acurately gauge and adjust humidity then. The incandescent lamp is on approximately 13-15 hours a day -- I definitely wouldn't leave it on 24/7.

I'm assuming you're talking about the pet store employee that I described second, not the one who told me she'd sex the snake after the mites were gone. He seemed like a jacka## knowitall to me, and contradicted a lot of what I've been reading, here and elsewhere. If he didn't happen to work at one of the best local sources for live food, I might have told him off, but in case I need it, I want to be welcome there.

As far as the mite treatment, it seems to have gone well so far, and Snyder seems to be acting a little perkier this evening than s/he has been. S/he isn't even head-shy (I didn't try that on purpose) and has never hissed or drawn back so far. I've only seen one adult mite in the last several days (they were visible all over when I first got her), but I know I have to get the eggs as well to be sure they're clear.

If I can find where the kids put my digital camera, I'll take a pic or two and send it up. It might be a couple of days, though.

Thanks for the help!
