well it needs to be lower! 90 can burn there bellys and that would be as bad as you vent issue you are having now! they can borrow down to the glass and lay on the bare glass but its your choice to keep it where it is.. i was just adding my input!

but the water needs to be put back in a little mist here and there isnt going to give her enough water that she needs to rehydrate!

Could not careless. In all honesty she does not like them,but as long as its my money and i'm keeping them in my room it does not matter.

The only thing she likes is my red tegu....

I'm sorry, but yes, you are a newbie. And I am really scared for the safety of your snake. A glass ashtray is a great water dish that they can't knock over.

Thanks for one of the first actual useful post, even though its clear you have no read it, because she has not eaten in a while buddy.

It doesnt matter whether or not she has eaten....well it does but not in regards to what I am saying about temp.

Too cold, worst case regurge...I am talking the worst effects of being too cold. Regurge is bad, but if you follow proper regurge protocol a snake has a good chance of surviving.

Too hot, worst case is death.

If you can't get temps exactly where you want them, then a little too cool is the way to go.

THANK YOU! She needs it in her tank everyday.. with FRESH AND CLEAN water daily.

I don't know New York.. but I live down here in the South. I don't have my heating pad on in my corns tanks unless they are digesting.. I keep my home cooler than 80 F in the Summer.. but have the tank heating pads on and not let my house get cooler than 60 F in the winter.

Trying to get the temps right and knowing when they need heat at all can be a balancing act.. it comes with experience and knowing what your corn is happiest (as much as you can tell by behavior) at.

All we are asking is to lower the temp where at the hottest it's not over 85 F. They can burn themselves easily when burrowing and lying on the hot glass. And corns love to burrow.

As for her vent injury.. I am not sure what to advise about that... I will let the more experienced breeders or members here have a say on that one.

I AM scared for the well being of your snake.
Her temps are way too high, you are scaring the daylights out of her at feeding time, and now she is hurt because of something you did.....to top it all off you can't get her medical care on your own.

For dealing with the swollen vent, soaking the vent area in a cool bowl of sugar water can help bring down the swelling.

She cannot regurge if she is not eating 0_o.........
