Hey Derek

I'm using a digital probe thermometer and I'm measuring at ground level. For the ambient air temp, I measured at three different areas with the probe in the air, then calculated the average.

It wasn't crusty, it was like stringy mucus.

When I had her out earlier both myself and my friend had a listen, we couldn't hear anything. She doesn't spend time with her head held up unless obviously she's in feeding mode when I'm dangling a big ol' rat right in front of her. Oh and I've never opened her mouth because (1) I don't know how to and (2) she's not the most even tempered Royal there ever was.

Thanks for the advice, I hope the extra info helps.
