    Ball python basking.

    For some reason i seem to have an odd ball for a ball python. i have a uth which she/he doesent even use 99% of the time i have it set to 90. it gets anywhere from 88 to 93. Anyways. She/he uses the infared bulb and chills on rock or log to bask. No idea why but when he/she isnt on cool side imside hide this is what it does lol.

    Not odd just not feeling secure in it's hide, your hide is way too big and does not provide adequate security, a hide should be tight like a shell on a turtle's back, and if your temps reach 93 on the hot spot it's actually a bit too hot as well 90 is more than enough.
