What are the appropriate temperatures for the hot and cool side of the cage for a dumeril boa? I bought one of the heating pads that sticks to the bottom of the tank, but it doesnt have any real way to regulate the heat. My temperatures are around 84 for the hot side and 74 for the cool zone. Are these ok and if not how do i adjust them? thanks for the help

74 on the cool side seems too cool.
Should be about 80F cool side to a high 80's - low 90's on the hot spot.

i played with the digital thermometer and if i move some of the mulch off the bottom i can get the right temps. thanks for the help
