    My ball python only stays in his warm side
    I got a ball python (Sid) a little while ago and from the first time he came home with me he only stays on his hot side,the only time he goes to the cold side is during the night when he is exploring but goes back to the hot side before long is this normal or is something wrong with his hide on the cool side :confusd:

    Tell us about your setup. The more you tell us the more we can help.

    What type and size is the enclosure?
    How are you heating the enclosure?
    Is your heat regulated by thermostat?
    What are your temps?
    How are you measuring temps? Where are you measuring?
    What are you providing for hides? and where?

    Pics of the setup will help too.

    He is in a wooden Viv of 36x18x18 I think not 100%
    The heating is from a bulb that is screwed into the ceiling of Viv this is controlled by a thermostat
    Temperature is 84 during the day and 74 during the night

    Is that the median temperature or the temperature of the warm side?
