Should I soak?

75 is way to cold for a ambient IMO. 75 is close to room temp I am not risking a RI. When it goes down to 80 degrees he goes on the warm side only. the cool side is 80-81. The middle (ambient) ranges 82-84 under the bulb. Warm side on the glass measures 92-93 which makes above the substrate ~90-91 degrees. I have a thermostat for both the heat pad and bulb. He is usually on the warm side now but goes to the cool side here and there. I won't drop the temp lower then 80 on cool side/ambient.

Cooler temps alone in the 75 range do not lead to RI, what does in a lot of cases is a combination of poor husbandry (low humidity or high humidity for example) and stress (stress brought on by soaking/giving bath to your snake etc)

Lower temps are less of a problem than stress is
