Is he cold or just digesting ?

Got my spider ball on sunday afternoon put him in his tank when I got home he was cruising around all night long ....monday he was sleeping against the glass but half on the warm side and half on the cool side ...... Monday afternoon fed him a small rat he took it and swallowed it .....He then sat in his hide on the hot side for about 8 hours then came out all last night and was cruising back and forth again .... this morning he was in his hide again on the hot side and has remained there all day and as we speak .... Just wondering if he is using that heat to digest or if he is cold ... And yes I do believe my temps are right Basking spot 90-92 degrees.... cold side 79-80 degrees .

Just wondering maybe I'm just over concerned or maybe something could be wrong .

Everything sounds normal to me.
You don't have anything to worry about!
Thumbs up for good temps! :gj:

I would say he is just stretching.. my girl Kaa does that about every 8 hours for the first day or two after she eats ( cant blame her since she just swallowed something equivalent to me eating a beach ball I know I would need to stretch! lol)

as long as your temps and general husbandry are good I would say that he is just being his snaky self:)

Okay awesome sounds good Im glad to hear that you guys are saying everything im doing is right ....I will for sure never make a tank setup ever again it looks nice and all but way too much time and effort and all the stress I went threw just to get those dam temps and humidity right ....you can make them hit that temp no problem but too keep it stable was almost impossible but I did it lol and its been set up and going strong like that for 4 days im slowly starting too uncross my fingers heheh

stability isn't the important part, as long as you have everything within the "zone" it'll all be alright. nothing is perfect, so don't try to be.

Haha wasn't trying to be "perfect" just saying its not that easy to get the right temps on either side and the humidity .

So let me rephrase that its one thing to get the temps right but its another thing to keep it in the "Zone" !!
