...Ditch the heat light bulbs and get a UTH. The red light's not "bad" for her but she's not getting anything out of it...

Not true. If the room the BP is in is not around 80degrees then you will need a heat source to bring the ambient heat up in the tank. For this I do use a heat lamp in the one tank I do have. Some prefer CHE which are not bad but I like the red look in the tank and it goes well with the BP's name (Chaos).

I would say do not handle for at least a week. And like Coluber said, you should preferably wait until she eats for you first. I usually feed after a week of acclimation but have fed after 3 days with great success (normal feeding day for the others and the newbie looked interested).

Congrats on your new BP and welcome to the addiction!!

My bad, I was assuming it was a basking LIGHT and not a heat emitting bulb only like a CHE, which is fine

Lol it's all good... I figured it was a misunderstanding... Now rereading my post I came off a bit harsh... Sorry about that
