    Also females will spend a lot of time on the cold side and/or wrapped around a water dish when they feel breeding time is approaching
    Sometimes I'll notice jeffree goes to the cold side after pooping which is funny! lol

    That makes sense!!

    I have no idea why and he DOES use his warm hides and hot spot! Just not after feeding day. Once he was actually IN his warm hide when I fed him. He dragged and ate his rat IN the warm hide but then 2 hours later I found him in his cool hide! This boy is on a mission. Something possesses him to be a cool dude.

    Lol aww he's so cute he doesn't wanna follow other snake trends he does his own thing.

    Re: Hot side favoritism?

    Dean seems to prefer the hot side
    Although he used to have a log hide and even when I switched it to the other side he would only use that hide so I took it out and gave him identical ones
