Cold and hot side hide habits
Hey this is kind of a random question but my bp seems to spend all her time in her cold side hide its so weird. I have identical hides (88-90) hot side and (77-79) cold side. Its so weird i thought so randomly that one may be bigger lol so i switched them (i know its dumb  ). Nevertheless i have seen her night and day and she is always on the cold side. Any ideas?

88 to 90 degree ambient temp? Or 88 to 90 degrees at the substrate?
It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
It is okay to feed live food to snakes.

My snakes usually seem to prefer the cool side over the warm side except right after feeding. Once in awhile they switch it up so I check the wrong hide 1st but, it isn't all that often.

If it's recently perhaps its the season??? Every morning I check on mine they are up at the cool end as it gets later in the day they start moving towards the warm then back again overnight.

I know you dint have all the answers but could I experiment and do this with my baby bp? He NEVER NEVER uses the hot side (well as far as i know). Or you think it will stress him?

If he never uses the hot side I would recheck the temp
