For an animal as finely tuned as a snake, an animal that exists in a world of sensory input far beyond what we can see or hear - it's a huge change.
Oh no, I had no idea!

Well, shoot, the Acu-Rite is showing 98 degrees in its hide. Should we move it to increase the amount of bark in that spot, or leave it alone? Until we get the thermostat we ordered, it seems that increasing the amount of bark to keep more distance from the UTH is all we can do for the time being. That's what we did yesterday when Acu-Rite showed it to be only 80, otherwise we wouldn't have touched BP. Oh dear...
