Both the hides I have currently inside are bamboo same length one is just slightly wider. One is on the warm side and one is on the cool.
I do not have any UTH so what would the value of getting a temp gun be? The night I changed the substrate I measured the temp of the tank on the glass and it was 75 with the coco fiber and bark on top of it.
Pride will often do the same thing where it will come to the front of its hide and poke its head out and just sit there for hours but not leave.
I do not expect my snake to be out during the day or to even be overally active but I'm just wondering if I should be concerned that I have not seen it fully leave its hide and explore its tank in almost a week (it could leave when i'm at work or sleep).
I've read that it will move to regulate its temp if it feels its needed but It doesn't matter what the temps are it seems like it doesn't want to move. There isn't much foot traffic besides me when i get home at night and I avoid walking in front of the tank. 2 of the 4 sides are blacked out and it is really calm every time I handle it except if i put it close to the ground then it goes exploring.
I'm leaving it alone while its in its shed and hoping that it will go back to its orginial habits once its over
