    thermoregulation(sp) buddy. Thats what they do. I wouldnt worry too much. How long you had you snake and what are the temps.

    Maybe your hot side is way too hot? Do you have a thermostat?

    Mine too, sometimes he'll switch a few times a night. As long as your temps are correct and constant your BP will decide where he needs to be, no need to worry.

    It's just thermoregulating. Don't worry!
