Below I'm including a a picture of my costum built cage. I think I'm having an issue with ambient temperature. My house's temperature is mostly between 70-75. I live in central FL so no winter here, temperature is central AC controlled.
The lighting in the cage is always on (I got a daylight and a red light for night time) making the hot spot ambient temperature ~90°F but bringing the cool side up to 80°F.
This caused my snake to spend 99% of the time in the cool side even after it ate which when I had him on the tub he would go straight to the hot spot after a meal.
Noticing this I dimmed the light to cool down the hot spot but this lowered the cool side ambient to ~70-75°F and apparently made it so cool that it climbed up to the light (making me think he escaped).
Base on my setup I would appreciate some comments on what I'm doing wrong and any suggestions on how I could fix it.
Thanks!
Here is my cage
And this is when I thought he escaped 😂
