    More vent holes should help. As far as this boa feeling cold, remember that most all snakes feel cold to us because we're 98.6*...& also when we handle some snakes
    that need lower temperatures (such as corn snakes) the reason they don't want to sit still is because we're making them too warm & uncomfortable. Sometimes you
    need to watch where your snake spends time to see what they like: the BCI I had for many years often liked the cool side (75-78*) but used the basking area & the
    UTH-heated hide too...and she remained healthy.
    *Facepalm* welllllll the poor baby I’m glad I asked I’ll have to check on my BRBs temps too then. Lowered the temps let some cooler air in and altered the basking temp. Wiped off some of the inside to lower humidity for the meantime and now to make more holes at 1:00 am cause like I said happy snakes are the goals!! Yea the tub is only going to be temporary for her she’s going to be moving up in enclosure size anyways in a few weeks! Thank you for the guidance!!! I’m sure Bermuda thanks you the most haha.
