Ok,

I took out the under tank heater about 2 hours after i put it there, because i was worried it would hurt her since she wouldn't come out. (i figured it would be better for her to be colder than hot, being from paraguay and all.)
Anyways, looks like she just wants to hibernate, she still won't come out, and i don't want to disturb her anymore. Her basking temp at the highest point of her cork bark is 98 F to 110 F, depending on what time you take the temp. early morning is lower because i haven't given the light enough time to heat up. when i get home it is always between 105 F and 110 F.
Oh ya and i turn off both the heat lamp and uvb at night, so it gets down to about 77 F to 80 F in the whole enclouser.
I also measured her and she's exactly 15 & 1/2" inches, total length. I also thought that she was a little small for 6 months old, but i asked the breader and he told me that he only feeds them about 2 to 3 times a week, since he has so many.
Well thats about it.
I hope she turns around.
Thank you for all your help it is greatly appreciated!!!

Jose......
