I have a rack system for my balls and when I scan the hot spot (with hide) with the infrared gun, it shows the bedding at 86 to 88 and maybe up to 90 inside the hide. The cool area is around 70 - 72 and that's where I put the water bowl.

My snakes average around 78 degree (when I point the infrared gun to its body). Is this too cold? I've read a lot about rack/cage temperature but I can't find any info on what the snakes' temperature should be.

Oh, I should add that this is my daytime temps.
