Here she is...
Thanks again guys for all the helpful tips. I picked up my little girl yesterday at the reptile show. Pretty cool to go to all in all but very crowded. Brought her home and she went right into burrow after a long drink (so cool to watch!).
Brought her out for a picture this morning, pretty lethargic and she was cold to my touch. My ambient stays around 72 and I can't for the life of me get my hot side to raise above 80 even though I set the UTH up on Friday evening and have had it running the whole time even with control from a thermostat. No matter what temp I set it pretty much stays around 75-80. I've reduced my substrate to 1.5" or so deep so she can still burrow. At this point I'm considering doubling up my heat with a ceramic heat emitter. For a tiny 10 gallon tank I'm pretty dissapointed by the UTH which can't even raise a hotspot 5 degrees over ambient.
Over all though it's going to be tough to just leave her alone until next sunday!
