RF barely eats

When you soak cover the tub/tote with a towel or pillow case or something to keep it as warm as possible for as long as possible BUT you cannot let the water get colder than 78 F or you are doing more harm than good. In a 45 minute soak session you should be changing the water a minimum of 3 times.

I've been making sure the water temp didn't drop below 80, but I'll keep it in the mid 80s range. Good idea with the towel or pillow case. I had just been tempering the water by adding more, not enough to drown her though, lol.

Is she eating better/easier now that she's warmer and there's humidity? If not, warm the enclosure another 5 or 8 degrees until she has rallied for ten days or at least a week.

The greenhouse is a very good idea! Gold star!

A little. But I've seen a difference for sure. She was up this morning when normally she's still asleep. I'll have to check the Mazuri I have to make sure it's the right one.

In trying to get the temp up a little higher, would it be okay to run the lights 24/7? I use 100w CHE, basking bulb and light, the last 2 are getting replaced with the proper one though, just waiting for them to arrive.

no..... not lights for 24 hours it is not good for them and will induce stress.
