Yes a little bit of over thinking. Try to get the cool side up to about 80-82. The high side is good and just mist once in a while to bump humidity up. My room for my bp's stays at 80-84 and humidity is at 45 normally. I mist a couple times a day while in shed. As far as she likes the cool side....mine do at times as well. It's just what they do. As long as she is eating, shedding, and potty normal then it is fine. They really are easy to keep. I know someone might post a care sheet here. I have seen it on a few threads so maybe search the forum for it. I just don't have the link saved.
