Anyone know what surface temp will burn a BP?

I think I've heard that most BP's tend to stay on the coolside (I could definetly be wrong :confused: ). I know mine is always in the coolside hide. It got to the point where my BP-OCD took over... everytime I put him back he'd run to the coolside hide. Then, one day after he immediately hid away on the coolside, I picked up his hide and put him by the hot side hide. He did go in it and stay there for a while although it was probably just b/c of him being nervous or scared. I just wan't to make sure he knew it was warmer there. Anyway, after all was said and done he still spending his days in the coolside.

i thought temps were supposed to be 82F and 92F. and thats on top of the substrate right? with my UTH it needs to get up to 95-98 to be at 90 on the surface, im a bit worried but i cant do anything about that.
so what sort of compromise should i make?
p.s. coco substrate is minimal...

You'd be well advised to set your hot side temp to 95 under the substrate, because your BP can, and will, dig if it wants to get warmer. Remember, they can tell which direction the heat is coming from.

if have to set your tstat to 100F to get it to be 90F on the surface then thats what you have to do. i'll bet that most people here have their tstat set at all sorts of different temps to get the exact temp that is need for the hot side(or cool side...). some have to set higher and some lower. i set mine at 91F and i still pull hot side temps anywhere from 88-95F.

im not sure what temperature will burn a bp but i do know that in the wild air temperatures can get over 110F during the day. they may never feel that though because they hide in burrows all day but they may be able to handle air temps that high for short periods(not that i'm saying to try it).

Thermostat set to 95, temp inside tub is 95. If you walk into my room, you will likely see the majority of the snakes in the back of the tubs, in their hides or lounging with half their body in their hide and half sitting on top of the hide. of course some are always going to be busy-bodies and might be laying lengthwise along the side of the tub. If they were too hot, they would go to the cool side(which they sometimes do, but they just scoot their hide along with them so they are half on, half off the hot spot).
