    Why do you want to do that? If the warmest side is in the proper range (up to 88-90*) the water in the bowl will eventually get to low 80's too (put it in the middle of enclosure)- but bear in mind the water is always going to feel cool to you, because you're roughly 98.6*. ;)

    BTW- I'm putting this thread in the BP Husbandry forum, where it belongs. https://ball-pythons.net/forums/foru...2-BP-Husbandry :snake:

    Can you install a UTH under it? Controlled by t-stat, naturally.

    On top of the hide it’s 100 degrees underneath it is good
    The water them is ok at 76 but underneath it it’s 69 to 74 degrees
