Re: Snakes that choose to bask above and below the recommended temperatures
Because he wants to, who cares? As long as the options are available, hes not going to kill himself.
Anyways, nice setup.

I guess, I just don't know if 99F is too hot even for a hotter option. If anything I could always change thermostat placement and settings, but if someone else who's been housing snakes with a thermal gradient that is over the recommended hotspot with success can chime in, it would reassure me that everything's okay. This setup is only a week old, since I rearranged a few things here and there. Just don't want my snakes cooking if 99f is too hot.

One of the members here, I think its piracucu, provides his retic with a hotspot around 120 or something. And he uses it.
It doesn't hurt to provide too many options, they know how to choose. And it only hurts to provide too little hotspots, when the available ones aren't usable.

I agree, I guess with smaller enclosures you can only give a few options, and you have to be more careful about the only options you give. In this case since he has many options throughout the cage I'll feel less worried about him having to choose between too hot and too cold.
