Re: Why does my BP prefer the cold side of his Vivarium?

Any ideas why?
The temperature heated by the heat mat has a hide and the heat is around 30-32 Degrees Celsius (Sorry, I'm British).
The cold side has a hide and is about 27-28 Degrees Celsius.
Humidity is between 40-55%.
My young BP is doing the same thing. In my case anyway I contribute it to him just liking that hide better. The hide on my cool side he just barely fits it,he really has to squeeze in it. I think he just likes the security of the very tight fitting hide.
