The minumum temp at night is probably mid to high 60's In the day there is a basking spot that hits MAX 90 degrees if I keep my room locked up. If I don't it ranges in the high 80s.

Reading everyones earlier posts is making me think my cage might be to big for her now and she dose not feel secure. Its 5ft long 1 ft wide and 19in tall. And She's about 29in. I'm still not sure how old she is. I doubt she's been a very good eater in the past. I have plenty of bedding for her to burrow, 2 hide boxes (one at each end) and a big soaking tub which she soaks in regularly and for a good lenghth of time, and I mist the cage every few days.

To go with thecaiman's post about soaking and running your fingers over the unshed skin: I have tried that. The skin seems to be very stubborn. Maybe a visit to the vet should be in order about the skin?

Thanks for all your help!
