Also, I do keep many instruments for checking temperatures.

I feel you are bitter towards me because I am not taking your advice. However I did mention earlier on that I would give it two weeks to confirm for myself whether or not she would keep using the arboreal type setup to go up and bask, and crawl down to cool before taking your advice. This shows I am open to help and willing to follow advice.

One thing I should have mentioned before. The previous owner was also powerfeeding it before being sold to me. He told me a few weeks before I bought the animal, he would try to feed it every 3 days to bulk up..
The bold...the second red flag on why I wouldn't buy or listen to this person. Who doesn't quarantine? Secondly, it would have to be some disgusting set up for cross contamination. Internal parasites don't just up and walk away...

The italics...why do you keep two at the bottom and middle of the cage and none at the top where she apparently spends most of her time? She doesn't bask in the middle.

The underline...you've given this animal ONLY one choice to bask. She will continue to do so because without she'll die. It doesn't make it optimal. That's like putting it in a glass bowl full of water and saying it "loves to swim all the time".

I'm not bitter about anything. I'm frustrated because people like you come here because you believe we know a better solution than you can come up with on your own so you ask a question. You get answers and because they don't match up with YOUR ideas you put them off and criticize them. It's fine to ask for further detail but not a person has come to say myself or Lady_bug is wrong so it should say something.


So now because you don't want to admit to things being your mistake since you're dead set on the arboreal set up because you think it's best you're now saying that due to it eating on a better schedule it would regurge?
