    Wonderful! That's a sign that she's feeling comfortable, not stressed, and that your husbandry is on point

    Only thing im concerned about is that shes choosing to digest on the cool side. Have not once seen her use her warm side hide. I may take it back and get an identical one to the cool side. They only had one when i went last time so hopefully theyve restocked. I dont think she likes the warm side hide (other than to climb on)

    It's normal for them to not immediately go to the warm side after eating (although some BPs will and that's also normal!) My BP sometimes hangs out on the cool side for 2-3 days before moving to the warm side to digest after eating. Also note that you won't always see them moving around so it's possible she does stay in the warm hide sometimes and you just haven't seen it yet.

    They can be picky about which hide they prefer so having identical hides is a good idea, I would support you taking back the warm hide and replacing it with one the same as the other. If you haven't seen her using the warm side it might also be a good idea to double check your temperatures, what are the floor surface temperatures of the warm and cool sides, what's the ambient temperature, and what are you measuring temps with?

    Also worth noting, i dont have a laser thermometer yet to check floor temps, its on my "to buy" list. Probes are the best ive got at the moment

    I'd definitely move that to the top of the to buy list. They are the best way to know for sure your temps as thermostat and thermometer probes can be inaccurate. They also come in handy for checking temperatures of your feeder rodents!

    Probably the best money i have spent on anything for my snake, especially since it was only about $8 bucks on Amazon!!

    yeah it is on the top of my list, I just ran out of funds getting things set up, so I prioritized a thermostat over the laser thermometer.

    That was my thinking lmao. As I said previously, this is really just a temporary set up until my taxes come in and I can get a pvc enclosure. I was just trying to meet basic needs until I'm able to improve it. I'm just proud of the girl for taking F/T so quickly, after being on live at the shelter!
