Hot Spot For Blood Python
Hello. I just got a blood python that is about 15 inches long. She is housed in a plastic tub with a UTH and a hide on the hot side and humidity at about 75%. I have the UTH hooked up to a thermostat at 91 degrees with about an inch of coconut fiber substrate on top. I have been using a temp gun and have found the ambient temp in there is usually 80-81 degrees which my temp gun still reads on the hot spot unless I clear all the substrate then it gives me a reading of 90-92 degrees. I was just wondering if the ambient temp is ok in the hot side as long as that UTH is set to an acceptable temp in that spot? Also the substrate on top of the UTH doesn’t feel that hot so should I set the thermostat higher or is my 90-92 too hot? This is my first snake since I had a BCI when I was a kid so I wanna make sure I do this very right. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
