Normal thermoregulate behavior?

[Mil26]

Okay so my bp has been on the cool side 80° since Monday then I feed her on Wednesday and left town just got back yesterday night at around 10:30 and she was still on the cool side no i do not have a hiding spot just one on top of the uth which is at 91.3° should I be worried or is this normal? I think she also stayed on the cool side after she was feed..

Sometimes snakes just prefer one hide over another, or are completely comfortable at their temperature that they don't feel the need to warm up! My snakes sometimes will stay months in their cold hides. Snakes only switch hides when they feel the need.

If you don't have another hide, that could be the reason too! Snakes feel more secure in hides. Especially ball pythons. I would invest in some hides.

I always hear (read) that a snake will regulate itself as needed, and as long as your hotspot is reading true you shouldn't worry. Some would possibly advise you to have a hide on both sides, but if the enclosure is in a low traffic place it should be okay.

Yea she is she's in a room I only use to sleep at and I don't think my reef tank should bother her?
