What are you using to measure temp on the warm side?

Assuming the temperatures are accurate, it is perfectly fine for your snake to prefer the cool side. As long as you provide an adequate temperature gradient and hides for your snake he will move around as needed.

In the morning when I check on my BP's they are both usually in the warm side. The rest of the day they are usually on the cool side. Its normal.

im using a thermo/hydrometer to check the temp on the warm side.... its just that it seems as if hes always on the cooler side

If your temps are optimal measured with a digital thermometer, and your BP has 2 identical hides than it is a preference, which is not unusual.

yeah its a digital thermostat that mesures the temp and he has 2 hide outs as well... its just that sometimes i just get too worried i guess... and we just took him out and his rock felt a bit warm but its says its only 91.6 in his tank... but i think its me worryin to much ??

If the ambient air temp in your tank is 91 degrees than he might think its too warm. I try to keep my air temp around 85 degrees and my warm side in the low 90s. If he is an adult than they have been known to like the cool side during breeding season. Some of mine do at least.

[babygerl3094]

no its 91 on his warm side and hes just a juvi... and his cool side is readin 84.8 right now... so i think everything in his tank is ok...

My BP is always on the cool side (79-83 degrees). Although one time he spent a week on the warm side.

Just let him do his thang.
