Hello

So my first ball python is in my possession.
I have a temp taker gun and have been using it the last couple days severall times a day to monitor the temperature of the hot spot.

I know that she needs at least a week to settle down, she is already coiled up in her hot hide.

I want to take the temps still a couple times a day to make sure the temps are fine since in the hide what she has between her and the heat mat is a really fine cover of aspen and the plastic of the rub. (i have a thermostast, max temp to 90F)

I can take the temp without disturbing the hide but i know that she will hear me open the rub and see me move trough the hide hole. Can i do that or will that stress her out?

I ask because i dont want to stress her out but if im not moving her from her hide then its not that bad right?
