    They need a gradient. 80 ambient, with 90 hot spot. They HAVE to be able to regulate their heat. Does she have this? Did you read the caresheet? Trying to help your snake here. Also stick on gauges are terribly inaccurate. What are you measuring humidity with? A stick on gauge? You need to go to Walmart and get an accurite thermometer. It will measure your hot side, cold side, and humidity.

    Ok so here tank is in my dresser as for the hot area than cool area yes, The closest part to my wall (outside wall) hits higher than the side where her water is, which is of course closest to me, and this area is cooler than most of her tank I do have a lamp that heats her tank to have hot warm and cool area. So Yes she does have this for herself

    Just Some Pictures

    Hey zombie, just wanted to clarify that we need the exact temps that she has in her tank, rather than 'cool' or 'hot'. Can you measure those temps specifically with a temp gun or digital thermometer?

    You NEED to be measuring her temperatures with a PROPER thermometer. The one you have is junk and is definitely not reading correctly. You can't just be guessing on whether the tank is hot enough or not.

    Can we see a picture of the entire tank as apposed to just this one side? Would help for us to give suggestions about possible ways to make your new no legged friend happy and comfy.

    Well... She has mites.... I picked off about 6-7 adult mites with of course wetting my hand and taking them off, so now she is at the store receiving treatment... Ugh I am just pissed she got them.

    I'm not surprised. Your other one had mites too, didn't it?

    I looked up this Scales n Tails and they sure do have a lot of bad reviews.

    I don't know how taking her to the store will help kill the mites. You've had her for two days and she came from that store. The mites also came from that store.

    You want to treat her at home. Don't end up returning a third snake to that pet store and giving them your money a fourth time.
