alright thank you guys so much. i was just woundering cause i know with the other 3 reptiles i have( leo, bearded dragon, and green iguana) varied is a good thing. but i suppose its not for a BP. also im very glad you guys told me to check my temps. cause the BP was 95. and the bottom of the tank was 103. but the mat is off the snake for the time being and i will get a demmer for the mat tomorrow! again thank you guys for all the help
