I have been working so hard to get the temperatures in my tubs consistent for my 2 new ball pythons. I have finally gotten the hot side to 86.5, but the cool side is only around 74.1. I have been messing around with the temps and when its like 81 on the hot side they lay on it, but when it gets too hot the move to the other side. Is it normal for ball pythons to like it so cool? I just got them from an expo so i know it was around 72 or something at the show, maybe they just need to get used to it? I guess the only one that can tell me if they like it is the snakes themselves right?
