New purchase. Heating Questions. With BP Pics!

[BPnuB]

Thanks for the assistance so far - Actually one thing the guy told me is that I should keep substrate off the heating pad so that they can get directly on it (at 96 degrees). I bought the terrarium with the snakes still inside and I haven't changed anything from the original setup. Should I cover it in substrate? Currently both snakes are in their warm hides. I was curious about their temperature -

Here is a shot of the albino in his hide -



You can see his markings around the bullseye - Top left is the reading in the center of the bullseye. So a body temp of 91.6 with a max temp of 95.3F

Pretty impressive that the herpstat is set to 96 and FLIR is reading within 1%.

Here is the cold hide -



Here is one of the center of the enclosure - The dark spot in the center is the water bowl. Looks like the gradient in the center (not including at least 8" on either side) is about 75 to 93F.
