why does my snake seem like he's too hot???

recently my snake has decided to always be on his cool side. and not just on the cool side but like sandwiched as far away from the heat as possible. lately i keep finding him all coiled up in the furthest coolest corner of the enclosure like it's unbearably hot in there, and he's out of his hides to do so. i bought a very nice digital probe thermometer so there is no mistake in temps. i even double check it with the cheapy ones and they say relatively the same temps as the digital. the floor on the warm side is a touch over 90, the floor on the cool side is about 81-83 and the ambiant air is around 83-86 cool to warm. is this not correct? is there something wierd going on with my snake?
the only thing i can think of is for a while i had the temps too low. the cool side was getting down to the mid-high 70's and the ambiant was in the upper 70's. the warm side has always been the same. when i was told that i needed to up it to lower 80's on the cool and ambiant as well i did. could he possibly have acclimated himself to lower temps and now it's just too hot for him and he prefers the cooler??
or could it be ventilation? maybe it's too stuffy in there now? i realize it's not a huge deal for some snakes to prefer their cool side but it just seems extreme lately, he looks like he's uncomfortable so it worries me.

hmm,my temps are just like that (basicly) roxy does like to stay in the middle where her water dish is,she likes to hide under it,i wouldent worry,maybe he/she just likes it better over there

i wouldnt worry to much. as long as your temps are right. rex uses his cool hide most of the time and so does my BCI

some snakes just like it a little cooler than others. perhaps you could lower the temp on the warm side a little and see if that makes a difference.

yeah like if you have a human heat pad put it on low or the warm setting,maybe then he/she will go over there.And also maybe she realy does go over there,is your snake more active at night or during the day ? maybe at night when you are sleeping s/he is chillin on the warm side ?? you never know

he does this all day usually

and then at night he is cruising all over the place or hanging out right by the door looking at me. he's so cute.

and by the way zenny girl sorry for goin way off subject,lol next time bpkid you can make a new topic and people will answer your question,just presss new topic button and you can ask whatever you wanna ask.

your snake likes it cooler. roswell and roo are on the same shelfing system, and roo is always on the warm side, and roswell is always on his cool side of his cage. temps are no more the 1 degree difirence. snakes have their own little prefferences

Yep, I've discovered that my snake seems to like the cooler side more. Either that, or she just doesn't know about the warm hide, lol. I wouldn't worry too much. Aslong as you have an accurate temp reading for the warm hide, and it isn't too hot, then I'd probably say he just likes cooler temperatures.
