I observe all of my ball pythons either relaxing on the cool side or basking over their hot spot at different times during the day.Originally Posted by sw204me
When you're keeping these animals that are dependant on external sources of heat to fuel their physiological functions it's important to give them choices ... They might choose not to use all of the choices you provide them with ... but better to offer them and have them not used than to not offer them when the snakes needs them.
Hope this helps.
