hi everyone, i am new to owing snakes and reptiles in general so this may be a stupid question but it is just something i am curious about. obviously i know that snakes have to regulate their own body temperature and that is why we give them a thermal gradient but i thought that thermoregulating was more something snakes do through out the day. but my ball python, who i have had for about four months now will pick a hide and stay there for weeks aside from roaming about at night. and then after a few weeks he will switch to the other side. sometimes for discernible reasons such as digesting or getting away from a poop/shed but sometimes for no reason that i can see. his hides are not identical but he spends significant time in each so i don’t think that is the reason. am i just being stupid and this is normal or could something possibly be wrong? how often do your snakes move to thermoregulate?
