Re: Serious problem with Jennifer

I soaked her in warm water for about ten min because she was cold she hides from the heat side a lot. I had her in a plastic tub smooth edges with some fuzzy mice hoping that she would at least try and eat that since I couldn't get her to eat a small mouse she was rubbing her head in the corner the. Her skin just split open it didn't bleed or anything.

If shes hiding from the heat side, maybe its too hot?

What makes you believe she is "cold"?

If she's spending more time on the cold side than the hot side then your hot side temperature may still be too high for her liking.

When you soak her what temperature is the water? Anything that feels "comfortable" to us will be way too hot for her. I use a digital kitchen thermometer to check the water temp, start the soak at around 91*F, and end it when the water temp has dropped to 80*F.
