hello everyone,
im a first time snake/bp owner. i have owned the snake for 6 days now. she fed yesterday for the first time (a hopper mice-live). she is a female spider about 15-16". i have her on a 10Gallon aquarium and on the "hot side" i have a UTH on the bottom of the tank with one of her hides right above i and an infrared bulb above the enclosure which i keep on all the time.. the "cool side" has kept a constant temp of 81F and humidity overall has been anywher from 50-55%
i dont have a thermostat to regulate temp yet so im not sure what temp exactly the UTH is emitting but the thermometer i have inside the enclosure on the hot side has read a constant 84F. since i've had her she doesnt go into the hide thats right above the UTH except for yesterday when she fed and was only there for a bit before leaving the hide.rather she would bask right beside it or on top of it and usually at night
should i be worried? any suggestions advise would be greatly appreciated
