Just got my first bp saturday and i plan to try and feed her tomorrow since she had been last fed wednesday. She's a little over 4 months and i believe she had been fed a rat pup last so i think I'll have the size ok. Im just wanting to know if she will be ok to eat since she usually just stays in her cool side hide all day. I dont think the temp is an issue i have been using a thermometer with a probe to test the areas and it gets to about 90-92 on the hot sides floor and around 78 on the cool side with an ambient temp of around 80-83(this is with a 75 watt heat lamp aswell btw). The humidity goes from around 50-60 but in the mornings when i check its around the 70's i believe. Im not sure if its maybe just too hot for her or if she just prefers it to always be around 80 but i dont want her to not feel warm enough for digestion and not eat. If she does eat will she be out in the heat to digest or is the cool side temp enough to help with that? One more thing is at night it gets a little chilly because when i check in the mornings its around 72-74 so is that alright? The only low wattage bulb i could use to keep the heat up a little is a blue daylight bulb thats 40 watt but i think that would throw it off the whole day night cycle. Just wanting anyones opinion on if this will be alright and if she's safe to eat.
