    I had said the last two days she was staying under her cold side. Well I just went in to put in the new bedding and she's very active. It's 1pm where I am. She is specifically trying to go up.. should I bump up higher than 28for cold side??
    She seems thin.. I wouldn't say there looks like there are eggs in her. Ugh what the heck is going on??
    I want to take her out and see but don't want to mess with her
    28C is a good cool side area. Nice job and congratulations. Lol.
    Stay in peace and not pieces.

    Thanks for the advice! She's all bathed and I did a total clean of her tank. She's restless but otherwise back to herself ☺️ I'll offer food tonight or tomorrow

    I know how badly you want to see her eating again, but it's likely that she needs a few days at least to rest & rehydrate, especially since she was thin to start with (according to your description). Wait until you see some interest in food. Otherwise you'll likely be wasting your effort & the prey. A dehydrated snake may have trouble digesting & may barf it up, making things worse, since then you have to wait longer (a few weeks) before feeding, to give them time to replenish their digestive enzymes. Patience...
