If a snake was staying on the hot side all the time I would think that the temps were too low. If the hot side is 85 then it goes cooler than that it must have been hot enough. If it stays on the cool side all time then it is too hot......Originally Posted by Freakie_frog
Ok here my.
First I do think that you need to raise your temps up to the suggested levels. The temp ranges that we suggest are for your and a your snakes benefit they help keep you snake feeding and healthy. The is a difference between surviving and thriving when it comes to reptiles. A ball can survive way harsh conditions for a short period with few if any ill effects. But a prolonged exposure to less than ideal temps or environment increases the risks of problems later such as RI, regurge, not eating.
I'd say for your snake to thrive you raise the temps to a 90-95 hot and 80-85 cool side.
But thats just me.
Just makes me wonder.
