Getting a Gray-Banded Kingsnake...

[DutchHerp]

Are you heating the ball side with a RHP, and that is heating the cage, or is it belly heat? You can always unplug the RHP if that is the case. It doesn't have to be exactly 85 on the hot spot.

Both sides of the cage are heated by separate RHPs... I can't unplug the one of the Ball cage because it'll get too cold... but this causes the grayband side to have a low of 83...

See what happens when you just unplug the grayband side. Or just use a thermostat or rheostat. It doesn't have to be expensive or fancy.

If I don't have the grayband side on, the cage is still at a min of 83. The Ball Python RHP is already controlled by a Herpstat Pro, and the other one would be too.

I think, since I don't see another solution, I'll get a Ball Python at the show this weekend and a grayband later in my life...
