blue light to warm the enclosure a bit more thinking maybe she was higher up cause itd be warmer but shes still sitting in the same spot (yesterday she slept in the same spot without the bulb) for when I turn off the lights for the night.
I can update with pictures when it isnt night time.

I used to have a rocklike hide on the warm side where she slept herself in between the hide and the glass in the corner for warmth (not even inside of it lol),
but I moved it and put the log on the warmer side and the rock one to the cold (maybe I should switch these around?)

Where she sits is about 77-80 degrees, her cool hide sits at around 73-75, and her warm hide is maybe like 87-94 ish (since its both bulb and UTH). Humidity is at about 50%.
Using one of those instant thermometers, and a digital measure for humidity. She lives in a 18x18x12 terrarium.


Is this just her being weird? She is new, juvenile about arms length. I just figure BPs like to sleep in their hides more than not. I got her a couple of days ago and I think I landed the enclosure for the most part.
Just need to find a 2nd hide she actually enjoys. I've only ever seen her go into the rock hide and never the log (log is a little new, maybe its too small or too hot cause its on the heated side?).
Other than that, outside of the enclosure she is very active and sticks her tongue out a lot and is very gentle with whoever picks her up. Doesn't stiff up (in fact she is very eager to go full length
and explore about, even if its just my shirt or something).


Hi

To be honest I don't really trust those thermometers you can get for vivs especially those stick on ones which are simply useless , the ones with wires and probes are better but I also use a digital temp fun off eBay ( £10 ) . These provide very accurate temps for any areas that are important .... under the hides in this case ...
