Thermostat was at 90. I've moved it down to 80.7 now.

I did check for a pink belly. Pissed her right off, now she's furious with me. I'm reluctant to check the glass temp again because I don't want to stress her out even more.

I have several layers of paper towel over the heat pad and the heat gun is reading 80 when I scan the towels.

This whole journey has been anxiety inducing, and I feel bad for my snake. I've become neurotic and I can tell she's stressed. Can you give me some advice on how to relax? Obviously as a first time BP owner I want to take proper care of her.
