hot/cold

[jalisco milk]

how much time should a snake spend on hot side and cold side.the reason i'm askin is i have a jalisco milk i used to have her tank set up with a heat lamp i'd leave it on all day turn it down at night,she seemed to spend most of her time on the hot side,i recently switched over to a heat pad which i leave at the same setting all the time and she spends alot of time on cool side and she really hasent eaten since, it looks like she should be sheding i didnt see her in her blue fase but the way her skin looks to me it seems she should shed,i'm not too concerned about her eating yet but the sheding part i am,today i left her in a wet box for 5 hrs guess i'll see if that helps and i'll do the same for her tomorrow maybe longer.she seems tobe active moves around alot like shes hungry. any tips or help would be greatly appreciated
