Temperature: 80 - 85 F (27 - 29 C) during the day, with a basking spot of around 90 F (32 C). Night time temperatures can fall to around 75 F (23 -24 C) as long as an area of 80 F is maintained.

= a temp drop. :taz:

The caresheet here says that nightdrops are not necessary or desired, so you saying "The temp is supposed to or can drop at night" makes me think you haven't read it. Also, if you did read it, you would know that your temps are too low and you should have the UTH on at all times and at least get a dimmer to control it.

Again, it says the temps "can" drop, but it also says they are not needed or desired.

Tell me when i gave a temp that is to low. :confused: :confused: :confused:

I said at night with the light off it stays around 75-80 which is exactly what the care sheet i posted said.

Well, the fact of the matter is, you should be providing a hot spot of at least 90* for your snake. Get your thermostat as soon as you can. It will make yours and your snakes life easier. No having to worry about unplugging the UTH or being afraid that the temp is too hot.

Do you have a warm side and a cool side though?

They just go when they want to. That is all there is to it.

I know that BPs will go whenever they want, but I'm just saying my BPs normally go within that time. Candice usually goes 3 days after she's been fed too, but just a tiny bit. Usually once every 1-2 months she takes a huge dump lol. So I'm thinking she just lets a little out after she eats but saves a majority of it to take a big dump in 1-2 months lol. I definitely know my King snake doesn't.. he just goes 2-3 days right after being fed lol.

I just ordered a Zoo Med Reptitherm U.T.H and Zoo Med Repti Temp 500R Thermostat from www.petstore.com. They are a little cheaper than petsmart. I can't wait to get them so I can get rid of that humidity robbing heat lamp.
