Hello Im new to this forum and we have just got our first Ball Python yesterday. The question I have is that we have just bought a red heat bulb75 watt for our 10 gallon tank and for use at night and i noticed the snake lays in it alot. The temp on the wall in the tank on a chep themometer says 85 and it is located between the hot and cold zone. I have a digital infared gauge and it says about 92 where the snake is laying and when you measure the temp of him it ranges to almost 94 at times. Is this ok and shouldnt he have enough sense to move to the cold side of the tank and cool off if he is too hot? Thanks
