I hated going to live food for her but she seriously snubbed her nose at frozen/ defrosted. I'm figuring since I tend to be a worrisome mom with all my animals, I can/will monitor it very closely as she gets older.

Thank you for your advice... I spend a lot of time here learning.

Any thoughts on humidity? I'm using 2 water dishes, a humidifier in the room and am utilizing the damp towel over her screen for now. We will be doing the foil/tape thing this weekend.
I stopped listening to pet store advice a long time ago! They just have regurgitated info that's rarely correct!

As for humidity, do all of what you said (foil, damp towel, etc.). You can also offer a humid hide (damp moss) all the time. When she's in shed, make all her hides humid hides. She should shed just fine.
