I bumped it down to 96*f under the substrate. Her cool side fluctuates from 75*f at night to 82*f late afternoon.

    Haha ya, I guess she expected me to get it started for her by placing it in her mouth. So glad the wife was recording. I need to get a phone holder or something so I can record and feed at the same time but still have smooth still video. Autofocus sucks with 60fps.

    I expected trouble for sure but was so happy she didn't care. She has always ate immediately, even when shedding. But since I started offering her the right size prey every 4-5 days, she runs off to her hot hide and we won't see her again till next feed or when I get her out. Before during the first 3-4 weeks she was always out climbing on everything poking around the top lid and getting wrapped around the temp cords. Eventually I hot glued them in place and got her feeding back on track. She is still calm as ever and never struck out in defense or been in a defensive position from what I can tell.

    aye still no good, you need to regulate the temp on the glass, not the substrate. She can burrow if she needs the full 90-92, she will find the heat. The cool side is fine with that temp range but that hot side is an accident waiting to happen for sure.
