cool side

What is the coldest it should be on the cool side. Its getting cold outside so it gets down to the 60ies in the house. its about 64 on the cold side and it stays at 90 on the warm. Is this ok or am i gonna have to bring up the cool side a little??
Thanks Dan

It would be safe to raise it by 10 degrees or so. 90 to 60 is a bit extreme.

Is it necessary? Is it gonna affect the snake??

A BP should never be put below 70 under any circumstances, IMHO. I'd find a way to up the ambient temp in there.

Oh man 60's?? WAAAYYY too low. Cool side should be 80F during the day and maybe 76-78F at night. You gotta raise that cool side up. Unless you have a giant-a$$ cage, I can't see why it would be so low while the warm side is 90F. You don't have anything silly like a screen top or screen side do you?

nope its in a rubbermaid so what do you think would be the best way to raise the cool side just crank up my heat??

in this case, you anti-light people, would a light be appropriate? It seems like that would definitely raise the ambient.

Also, why is your house that cold? Is it in a room with open windows or something?

No i just done wanna crank the heat up.
I put another heat pad under the cold side and its up to 78 so hopefully that will be good.
