Sounds like you need a proportional thermostat-- one that will hold a steady temp.

I'm so sorry you are having these probs. Very frustrating! Clyde sends hellos to his best girl Eve.

At this point, unless your room temp is very cold, like under 70, no heat is safer. Right now we are on air conditioning here and my temp where my snakes are is 73. That's fine for a few days rather than the swings. If it won't mess up your whole rack just keep your house at 75 or 76 for a few days.

A proportional thermostat was what I had that went up to 115 and still climbing on it's lowest setting, so now I'm scared to spend the money and time to try again and have her unsettled for even longer. Fortunately I was able to return that one. What I've done is purchased another one of the jump starts, which I've had no issues with the other two until now, and I will regulate the smaller cages separately.

However, you may be right that it's better to keep her at room temps for a couple of days until it gets here. I will try to do some more research about the best way to deal with it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Checked on Eve today and she was being so cute I hurried up and snapped a couple of pictures without checking if my lens was clean. It wasn't. So I apologize for the hazy pictures, but I'll share them anyway because it's not often she "hides" out in the open like this. It actually took me a minute to find her because I simply wasn't looking there.

The last pic/series is for DollysMom who knows exactly what it's like to have a snake that absolutely insists on helping with the picture taking!

Lol, it must be genetic. Clyde does the same thing. Make getting decent pictures challenging to say the least. She's such a little cutie!

2017 update

Well, I finally got around to taking a few pictures with my new phone, so no more cracked lens! The camera loves Eve, it has no problem finding her and focusing on her, and she loves the camera! So the hardest part of this was deciding which pictures to share. Get ready for the spam!

Eve has been eating only every 4 to 6 weeks for the past 5 months, so this is also an opportunity for you all to judge her appearance and let me know if I'm crazy to think she's still looking just fine. She's a little dark at the moment, kind of like she is thinking about shedding soon, but is still very active so she's definitely not starting to go blue yet.

She's now 250g and was 3'3" at last measuring, which was in March. I know I'm not supposed to play favorites with my snakes, but I love her like a person. LOL. She's my baby, and definitely a favorite.

Here are the first 5 pictures... one more post coming...

Gorgeous! She still looks very healthy to me.

I'd also say that her head looks female, there are a few subtle differences in male and female head shape on older Capes, not quite as easy to see as tail shape though.
