Yup, seconded, no need to lower temps at night, and sounds like she'd enjoy feeding on her branch - one of mine used to do that - but watch out for any silk foliage and make sure she doesn't take that down with the rat, happened to me once.
She sounds to be doing really well and a right little madam, bless her! |

no need to drop the temps at all as the natural nightime drop in temps will lower the cool end slightly anyway.
how often are you feeding her? up to 400g should feed every 5 days.
shes probly happy an comfy up on her branch i would just leave her if shes up there so as not to stress her trying to get her out, how long have you had her now? |
