Why does she insist on being so cold?
So my house is around 60-65°. My 800g female HAD a 90° hotspot and it was 80 on the other end, but she kept squishing herself up against the glass on the cold side, so I rearranged things to add more cover. She still did it. So I lowered temps. She still did it. Now it's about 65-70 on the cold side and 80 on the warm side and she's still acting like it's too hot. I've never ever had a snake insist so strongly on being cold. She wanders at night and has housing places all along the gradient but she always chooses to sit in the coldest possible area. She acts fine and I do bring it back up to normal temps after she eats just to make sure she digests, but she wants to be cold and I don't understand it. What could make a bp so insistent on being cold? There is a male, nearby but separate enclosure, and I hear they prefer cooler temps when ovulating, but that low? That doesn't seem right, though I've never bred. I have had ball pythons for literally my entire life, but I've never had any snake ever do that
