That's a bit concerning, as your humidity is great. Can you bring a fecal to a vet?

I dont have a sample.. I dont think the humidity was that good until I switched the set up today..Its at 90 now. But she is not completely submerged. I am wondering if I coax her out if she would stay out.

just leave her alone w/ proper husbandry now, and she should come around.

if youre bothering her a lot shes going to get a bit stressed out and wont want to eat (dont try to feed her every day or anything, try every 4-5 days or once a week)

she needs some time to adjust to "proper" humidity im sure
