Yes I just did! and well it seems to take her about 15 seconds of self reflection... but she would eventually come back up to my hand. That was a relief, thank you for the tip

I wasn't sure how to regulate the UTH actually one of my first concerns.. but I kind of moved it 3/4 on the heater and 1/4 off for now and the ground temp went down to 90-91 thanks for pointing that out

general update: I managed to get her appointment at the vet for today! ****Spoiler alert**** I was being a hyperparanoid first time bp parent

He turned her around a bunch and felt down her belly. He said that she definitely didn't have any neurological diseases (because I was also worried her head bobs a bit and like I said she just crashes into things sometimes like she's a bit blind) but he said that's just because she's so young and not really that coordinated. She had no issues at all righting herself.

He said he was surprised at how incredibly calm and comfortable she seemed. And she was climbing everywhere, but I kinda pressed about how soft and weak she felt several times and he said well that's just her temperament and her age. so basically I thought the babe had a life threatening disease when really she's just mega laid back? ...

The only thing, he said she wasn't going to shed but I was absolutely certain she's about to shed because her skin is getting looser and looser, her eyes were a bit cloudy and today they're crystal clear. I guess we'll see. Also her weight is 196g and she's at least 6 months old - is that ok?

BUT all in all I am v relieved.. thank you guys all for your help & patience
