2. uses a 75 watt bulb for heating
3. Humidity is at 60-70% depending on were in the tank
4. 10 gallon tank planning on switching to a rubbermaid

You might want to think about doing away with the heta lamp and getting an undertank heater. It helps them digest better.

sounds good. you may want to soak her in a lukewarm snake bath for her next shed to help her get it all off herself.
be aware that ringers aren't neccessarily hets for anything unless you know their parents were hets or visual morphs. a lot of that kind of thing is just variations in pattern. but if you did buy her as a het, you might be lucky!

Yeah I agree with bdrive2 get a undertank heater (human heating pad) works fine as they don't float in the air lol. Next time she sheds just spray her home down lots and I would check her for mites as that can also cause her to shed bad.
