    BP on cool side...

    Hi, for the past couple of months my BP has been staying on the hide on the cool side for most of the day (besides the night). The temps are 82 ambient and 92 basking spot on warm side.I have him in a 40 gal glass tank with tin foil over the top to keep the humidity in. SHould I be worried is there something that could be causing this?

    So long as you're confident that your temps are correct...then you should also be confident that your BP is fine in how it chooses to thermoregulate. Mine also spends the majority of her time on the cool side of her enclosure.

    OK thanx. At first I thought maybe the heat pad was to warm but I felt it and checked temp and it was fine. HE is in perfect health so thanks for reasuring me that he is fine.
