I've gotten the temps and lighting fixed. Red basking bulb at night, white uvb bulb during the day. The bulbs are hooked up to a day/night timer and both the bulbs and UTH are hooked up to a thermometer that turns the heating elements on or off as the temperature drops and rises. The cool side is 75° while the hot side stays between 79°-82°. Today makes 2 weeks since she regurgitated and 12 days since I got the heating and lighting fixed and she still hasn't come out from hiding. I'm up all night every night due to a night job and still haven't seem her come out of the hide. everyday she's in exactly the same place though I can't tell if she's in exactly the same position. Today I added plants to the enclosure in hopes that the added hiding spaces would alleviate some of her anxiety. When I placed her back in the enclosure after adding the plants she didn't go immediately back to hiding but instead spent about 10 minutes looking around a very little bit. She appeared to be at least a little curious (the first time since the day I bought her home) . Since then she has gone back to hiding. My question is since I've changed the enclosure even though it was a positive change should I wait another week or two weeks before attempting to feed her again? (Since today would have been the feeding day 2 weeks from when she regurgitated) Is the anything else that I need to know or should change/fix? I can't figure out how to post pictures on here but would be more than happy to share some if you can tell me how to post them and would like to the the enclosure and/or snake (Krishna).
