I put the probe in and left it in there for a while, I come back and see 100.8F!!! What the heck!! Why is it so much hotter?! Is that anything I should be freaking out about??
I took the probe out of the hide and left it just at the entrance to the hide and it was showing 90-91F which is normal, but it is WAY WAY WAY hotter inside that hide and I am scared to death that my snake will cook himself alive, good thing I noticed several weeks before I get him!
Do you have a light or anything over it? Only thing I could think of is that its building up heat in there but it shouldn't. Try testing under the paper towel in the same spot and see if you get the same temp or higher.
