So I recently got a young Pueblan Milk Snake. He is healthy, eats very well, and I am very happy with him. I am currently battling to keep the humidity up, and I am switching him to repticarpet or newspaper, But what I came to talk about is the heat. When I first installed his heat pad, I waited several hours, and then did a temperature check. It read 82 degrees. But after I got my snake, I realized he never used his warm hide. I took the temperature, and it was 90 DEGREES! I have been trying to figure out how to lower the temp. Could I add more paper on top of the heat pad? I already had a sheet so if he burrowed he would not burn himself. But will adding sheets of paper on it affect the temperature? If so, how much paper do I need and how much will it lower the temperature? If not, is there another way to lower the temp of a heat pad a few degrees? Thanks in advance for answering one of my dumb questions!
