I have a stack of 4 - 36x23x14 Constrictors Nortwhest enclosures housing 4 Ball Pythons. I am currently Pro-products radient panels on one side of the enclosure (awsome setup provided by these guys). This is my first experince with such a large floor space for the Balls which provides quite a broad temperature gradient. I was wondering if right under the heat source was to hot? The temp is under the heating element is 105 the center is 85 and the opposite end is 80. The front of the enclosure from heating element side over is 85, center 80, opposite end 78. They have been in here for a couple months and seem to be doing fine (most of the time in there hides on the opposite end of the heat) eating, active at night, good sheds, etc. It would be a major pain to replace the heating elements so I was wondering if over the long term this is a bad set up.
Thanks
