More Temp Questions
So there are two parts to this.
1st: I know that belly heat is important so I have a heat pad with temp regulation and the whole bit, but I had someone recommend putting a flat rock in the enclosure under the heat light. They said that the rock will heat up (makes sense) and that the snake can use that to thermo-regulate. What do you more experienced snake owners think of this idea? :confused1:
2nd: I just got a two week old Dumerils Boa (Betty). I have Betty's hot end of her enclosure at 80-82 during the day and 76-78 at night. Her cool end is at about 74-76. The crazy thing is that Betty spends her entire time on the far side of her water dish on the cold side. I put her hide in the middle and a hide in the warm end, temp inside the hide does not get above 85. But she still likes the cool end. She is so young I don't want her to get cold but she is really active (spends a lot of time looking around) and it seems like she might like to move around more. But I don't know if it is the temp could be the reason that she is staying at the one end. So should I lower the overall cage temp?
