you should do a little bit of research on the species and your time with her will be much more enjoyable.

Agreed. There are plenty of care sheets on the web; just google "species name care sheet" or "blood python care sheet" and you will find them.

Snakes won't eat when it's too cold because they can't digest the food properly.

a higher wattage heat lamp or a bigger uth or cover the top more. there are many ways but a bigger uth will usually help or a ceramic heater but i don't particuarly like them.

Hey, since we're on the subject of heat, I'm having a problem. I think.

It seems that my ceramic heat lamp for my hot zone is dying. It's only about six months old--is that typical? I unplugged it and plugged it back in and it began working again, but this evening it seems to have quit again. I'm thinking I should replace it, but with what?

I'm not worried about my BP freezing, as he has a UTH that's working well, but it's in the warm zone, and I still need a hot zone.

So why not just put the UTH under the hot zone, and voila... a new hot zone with a cool zone at the other end. I've never used ceramic heat lamps so I am unsure of what the cause to your problem is.
