Yeah he'll hang up there for a lil' while but when i turn his light off he slithers down and remains active. I would say the snake is perfectly healthy though, he's my most aggressive eater. Eats and drinks very well.

I'm only using a 60 or 75watt sunglo tight beam so my guess is that he is trying to get right in that basking sweet spot. But yeah I've got him in a 20long with the screen top so I know most of the heat is escaping...
