Make sure her hide is completely enclosed. You only have one hide as well. Put two hides in, one at each end (hot and cool).
What are you using to measure the temps and humidity? If you're using analog gauges, understand that they can be wildly inaccurate at times. If you're using digital gauges, they're probably fairly accurate.
Once you have both hides in and you are sure your temps and humidity are correct, cover up the tank on three sides, and let her sit for a week, no handling. Just check her water a few times and let her acclimate in peace. After 7 days of peace and quiet, try feeding her again. If she eats, let her sit for a couple of days to digest. Try handling after that.
Im pretty sure the other side is in the 90's. Im using an analog gauge I literally just separated the tank and turned it into a 10 gallon, then added another hide. Now its small and snug. Im gonna leave her alone for a while.
