Maybe it is uncomfortable. Do you have a hide in the cage, what is the tempature/humidity. Also do you open the cage alot or is the cage in a place where people walk past it alot.

I didn't see the full question so sorry if you said/answer all these things already.

Also my snakes won't eat thawed rats so maybe that could be a problem try live but supervise it

Ok so I got the pad to about 91 degrees, the cold side is like 69 for some reason.. Humidity is 65..., and I cant find a light dimer at stores so I haven't been usin it I have a infrared though I just think it might be too hot

[Vincentleo]

And she just is really jumpy, you barely move or anything and she throws her head like she's spooked . Not sure why that is...

69 is a bit cold for ambient temp.. You can find a dimmer switch for the heat light from a hardware store or pet stores do sell them with dimmer switch on them already.. Or space heater to heat the room he/she is in.

Lol the guy at the pet store told me yall are wrong and light dimmer will melt the cord , and to change light bulb voltage if it's too hot

Wattage is what lighting goes by and IF believed the guy at the pet store you wouldnt be back here.

If dimmer switches melted power cords they wouldn't sell them... Just wow... And the dimmer switch really has nothing to do with the cord it will have 120v av going threw the cord up to the dimmer switch if anything would heat up a little it would be the switch itself

Hahahah okay, so the hot side of cage is 70 and cold side 69, heater on 88, infra red light is on without dimmer (should I turn off)?
