bp is not coming out of cold house..
my bp will not go to his hot house. it stays in the cold house which the ambient temp on that side is bout 80 night n day mayb a lil more during day.. his house i dont get above 92. ive tried making him go to his hot house he goes in for a few and when ur not looking he retreats to the cold house... he is starting to show signs of shedding but not much.. a slight tint on his belly and a whitish scale here and there. i dont kno what this means or what hes trying to do.. some info would be ausome!!
Re: bp is not coming out of cold house..
I'm pretty sure it's because your "cold" house is the temperature of what a "hot" house should be. The hot side of the tanks should be 83-85F and the cool side like 80F and night "cold" side at ~75F. 90F is the basking spot temperature.

I tried to "fool" one of our snakes and she went where ever her "favorite" hid was placed

Lol, that's funny. Great example of why identical hides are needed!
I'm not sure if it's because of the heat. I like my cool side to say around 80. I suppose if it gets very much over 80 that could be the reason, but 82-83 I don't think that would be a big deal. My tubs are 92 hot side 80 cool side.

I Started To Notice That When My BP Was Going Through The Process Of Shedding He Leave His Tail Outside Of The Hide I Havent Seen Him Do That. My Guess Is Because Of Shedding And He Was Trying To Feel The Humidity. I Checked Today And He Has Those Blue Eyes.

The shedding begins after the eyes clear.
