Just a happy update
The next day after I posted and received advice I went and bought a thermostat, probe thermometer and a temp gun. I have Valentines husbandry all figured out with her rock cave coming in at 90 and the cool side is about 74 with an ambient temp of about 80. The gun is great, love it except when I'm waking up from a nap on the couch with my boyfriend pointing it in my mouth lol everyone was right it was SO hot before reading in over 100 yikes! Thank gosh she was smart enough to not get burned.
She has been hiding a bit more but still enjoys being on her sticks. She's quite a social snake and very nosey. I can't do anything or even go to near the cage when she's in her rock hide because she will pop out and want to come play. So I tiptoe around and try not to peak on her when she's in the rock.
Todays feeding was a great success hurray a small mouse. I couldn't get any rats but will look into a feeder supplier close by. I just think everyone will benefit if I start her early on the rats but I will see. All in all we're doing great and I am so happy with my baby. Best present ever <3
