its about 80 degrees. so far i have had the heating pad on medium so it doesnt get too hot and she has been only half way under the dirt. i put some crickets in there with her the other day so when she does wake up and get hungry there is something there for her. i will still continue trying to feed her other things too. we just moved so she is back to being upset because its a new environment. and we are going to switch her tanks soon. so hope that works out
