White Lipped Python enclosure question

Isn't this the purpose of offering up a hot and cold side? So they decide where they want to go? Have I been doing things wrong?

Well I just thought I would bring it up because he isn't using the warm side and these snakes are prone to RI's caused by cold and damp temperatures.

That you know of. I'm sure you're not home 24 hours a day every day. You said he cruises at night. I wouldn't be surprised if he feels more comfortable on the hot side at night.

Maybe you should use a different thermometer in case that is just reading wrong.
