First time snake owner, saying hello and checking I've got everything set right
Hi Everyone, so happy to have found this forum. I'm in the odd position of now being a co-owner of a young BP, brought for my son, but cared for by us both.
I once swore i'd never have a snake as I'm a little scared of them, but here we are and she is really beautiful 
We've had her for 7 days now, she's due her first feed tonight, little worried about that, but my main concern is the temperature in the tank.
We are using a ceramic bulb, with a cage round it so she doesn't burn, the hot end is around 90-93, when thermostat stops it drops to around 88, the cold end is around 80 at lowest and 83 highest, there are various different temp spots around the tank. We have 3 hides in the tank ( 3 foot ) but she always seems to spend her time in the one at the hot end, in her hide it measures 93.8. Is this to hot?
Any advice would be very welcomed, as i'm practically checking temperatures so often i'm even dreaming about them at night, I just want to make sure we have it all perfect for her 
Thanks
