turns out I was wrong on the temperatures, I had gotten a temperature gun today so I checked the temperature in both Charlie's (BP) and Bailey (corn snake) and Charlie's hot spot was around 85 and the cold side was 79 degrees. The temperatures for Bailey's tank were inaccurate due to the fact that I had the light turned off for maybe 5-10 minutes while i was cleaning her cage/spraying/changing the water and I will check it again in a little while. I re-plugged in the heating pad for Charlie's tank and I've been monitoring the temperature. Last time I checked, the hot spot was 87 degrees. Thank you guys so much for the help, I appreciate it a lot, I just wish I had gotten an account on here sooner.
