OK. I obsessed over this girl all night last night as I set up her new enclosure and monitored her temps. I moved her to a smaller Sterlite tub with about 40-50 square inches, with a much smaller water bowel. I filled the entire tub with a few inches layer of moist sphagnum and put most of the tub over a new, larger heat pad. I think the temps were definitely significantly higher than her previous set-up and maybe an improvement. Before it was hovering back and forth between 78 to 80. Now its more like 85 on the warm end and 78 on the cool end. I guess she should feel more secure in such a smaller space. I'm a little concerned that the humidity may be too high, but I think this will have to be the way, at least until I get her feeding regularly! I'll be keeping my eyes on this. I guess I will try some frozen prey again soon, after a few days, and then if she doesn't eat I'll try a few small live mice.

I'll post some more if this doesn't do the trick!

Thanks everyone.
