They bounce according to what they want at the time. (I use belly heat which at a 95° surface temp they air directly above it for about 4 inches is where I like to keep my ambients)...I don't wan't my animals directly touching 100°+ surface temps, as I have seen burns from a heat pad on a ball python that was tempgunning at only 106°. I have never had much luck with lights as heat sources so I can't say much about that because I don't use them.
I don't agree with little as possible either (a balance is always best) but the point was it is better to slightly underfeed than to have slight overfeeding in
Suriname BCC (once again these animals are not monitors or even
BCI and should not be treated the same way). The only exception I make there is when preparing for breeding season and then only in my females to prepare them for the possiblilty that they won't feed while gravid.
Suriname BCC husbandry seems to me to be more a lesson in "extreme moderation" (how is that for an oxymoron...lol
)
