Curveball?

[Albert Clark]

I don't have a way to properly gauge the heating pad besides my own hands, it isn't hot enough to burn my BP, he hides there occasionally and usually will sit in there hours on end but lately he's been preferring to be cold in the cool hide.

If you don't have a way to properly gauge the heating pad how can you know if it's not hot enough to burn the snake? Sounds like a oxymoron to me. Bro, you need a thermostat right away before tragedy strikes your bp. It most definitely is too hot if the snake is not going there. If he does decide to go there (to the hot side) it will be a burn injury waiting to happen. Be careful and buy a thermostat for the heating pad and a ir gun to monitor your snakes enclosure. It really is a required two pieces of equipment. GL.
