Temps after feeding.

[Tracy33]

I feed my carpet two days ago, placed him back in his viv ( the warm area) , about 24 hrs later he went down the bottom , to the cool area. The upper part is around 80 to 82 Degees, and the lower part around 70 or a little under at night. I moved him gently back to the warmer area. Is this ok , or should i have just left him ? Seems strange to digest a rat in the cool. Tracy.

Leave him be, he will know best what he needs, i peresonally keep my jcp at 86 hot end - maybe worth bumping it a couple of degrrees :)

^^^^^
i agree with Rob

i run my hot end between 85F to 90F,depending on each individual Carpet

cool end high 70F to low 80F

imo your snake will know the best place for digestion
