Yes I understand, my enclosure is wood and I guess the high floor temps aren't dangerous like they would be from a uth as the heat is from above so wouldn't continue at high temps under the snake, ambient air temps I presume will be more beneficial and natural than a hotspot on the floor with cooler air around it? The temps in the hide are about the same as outside the hide with just hotter surfaces outside..... Which again I guess is more natural than hotter inside the hide and cooler outside! He seems to digest just fine in the warm end with ambient temps.
Things make a bit more sense now..... Thanks
