I can't figure out how to edit my post for some reason. But here is some more info:
-I measure temps with a heat gun, but I also have a probe lying on her wood hide under her heat lamp with a dimmer so that I can regulate the temperature of the hot spot quickly. I use a 50watt red bulb (usually half dimmed) and I also have a small UTH under the hide, but it is covered with a lot of aspen so I don't think it does much to heat the cage.
-Since the breeder told me he found that dumeril's needed extra humidity I have a cool humidifier attached to a tube that lets out a tiny amount of fog in her cage. I couldn't keep her humidity up the first few weeks I got her until I made this.
-Most of the cage is aspen, but her cool side has some eco earth substrate to help humidity.
-2 hides, one on hot and one on cool. The small hide is plastic on the cool side and pretty tight when she is in there, and I fill the wood hide with a lot of aspen so I think she feels secure in these.
-A plastic leaf thing and a rock are on the cool side.
Let me know if you need more info, and please let me know if there is anything I can change to help her stress. I feel like I do endless reading on how to keep them, but something must be wrong.
