    Should I move him?

    So I've noticed that the room that I keep Firnen in, my bedroom, is the coldest room in the house. I wake up freezing every morning and I can't help but think that he must be cold too.

    Should I move him to a warmer room in the house for a few months until the weather warms up? The only reason I can't raise the temperature of the house is because I don't have that kind of authority haha

    Well do you know if it's actually effecting him and not just you?

    I'm not sure, but I just thought that maybe he would be more comfortable in a warmer room

    Well unless his temps are actually being messed with, you don't need to move him. If they are being messed with, however, is there no way you can up the heat in his tank? If the heating is already at max, and his temps all being messed with still, you should move him

    Check the temps inside your enclosure if those are good he's good! The room I keep jeffree in is sometimes pretty cool but his temps stay within range so it's fine.

    Could always knit your snake a wool sweater (or would that be a sock?).

    I would think moving the enclosure to a new location might be more stressful. The big temp is ambient. So long as that get taken care of even in your cold room I don't feel you should worry.

    Now if the ambient temp in the setup drops too much like under mid 70s that might be a different story but so long as it keeps close to where it should be, they can handle a little temp drop. Surface temps aren't as bad because as long as that UTH keeps up with the cold, your snake will have a place to keep toasty.
