When I woke up, the cold side (which is seems to like the best) was about 65 degrees celsius. Which is pretty darn cold. She didn't go over to the warm side. So I cranked up the heat this morning, but she had just eaten lastnight. Will she be ok?

Thanks

If she has access to a warm side (which should be between 84-86 or so) and she chooses to go to the cool side you shouldn't have to worry unless you suspect other health conditions. You should recheck your warm side temps though. If its too hot for her on the warm side, she/he/it will move to the cool side.

My corns are not heated at night and although my house *rarely* goes below 70, it has dropped to 65 a few times with no ill effects. BUT I wouldn't allow that to happen constantly and if it is 65 every night just make sure you offer heat 24 hours a day.

I'm with Marisa, my Spotted has been on her cold side for almost a month and a half and she always has 24 hour access to the warm side. If your snake chooses to be on the cool side, as long as it has access to the warm side, I see no problems.
