Still I could raise the temperature to 88 F in the hot spot. So i have 75 F in the hot spot and 67 F in the cool spot. But the strange thing is that my snake prefer to be in the hide that is in the cool side !! more than being in the hide in the hot spot which is just 75 F !! Anyone have an explanation ?
1.0.0 Common Boa - Revo CB13 I had a royal python (Blitz) for two years for those who are wondering what I'm doing here with my boa :D
Duke is the same, it could be that the cool end hide makes him feel more secure but more than likely is he is warm enough. Duke will go sit under his lamp for a bit then when he is hot enough go into his cooler hide. (I've noticed my new Boa doing exactly the same thing) My guess is ambient is warm enough for them and they only use the hot spot when they need a little extra warmth.
Hi there my 2 also have there hide caves at the cool end and thats where thay spend all of there time in the day.When i get up for work at 03.30 there at the hot end good luck D.
Hi, not unless you want to - it's not necessary. I just mentioned it because because it seemed to mean in her case that the snake wasn't using a favourite hide, but definitely favoured her cool end. Two of my royals have an assortment of different hides; Surahi has identical ones but it wasn't planned; it just happened.
Lancelots cool end ended turned out to be in the branches above which looks rather cool as she drapes al little. She doesn't used the cool end except for drinking from which to start with i wasn't expecting , she just loves those branches which were prior was meant for use in parrot cages
Strange !!
