I got in this morning and she seems to be doing much better. She was out to get some heat and sort of bask looking up at the light outside of her hide. I have about a 50gl tank with a mini heat pad and 150 watt emitter so I put the soak container in the tank on top the pad so the water will stay somewhat warm she's been in for an hour. When first in, she started drinking alot( I clean her dishes daily I dont know why, if she is thirsty , she doesn't drink from them). She has been in soaking for an hour, Its not very deep and I put a small plastic hide so she can rest her head on. She absolutely hates soaking It almost seems more stressful for her than forcing liquids orally but she is going to have to get used to it for a while b/c she still has a good bit of recovery to do. Her slither is still not really smooth its like she is rusty in places(if you will). I need to get her to a point where she will eat on her own. Its been about a month since she ate aside from forcing her some ensure yesterday.

Steve,
You kept yours in for 5 hours, would you keep one in for that long even if they completely hate it? I don't know if mine can even go 2 hours?
