Hi all,

I have searched and searched through this site trying to find a definitive answer but can't seem to get one.

I was wondering what good temps look like for a 4mo Stimson's Python. I can't seem to get my hot end over 30/31 (will take until after midday before it gets there) and cool sits at 22/23. Using a 5watt heat mat. I should mention that overnight the temp on the hot side can drop down to between 27.5 and 28.5. This to me doesn't seem right.

My little guy spends virtually all his time in his hide on the hot side which made me wonder perhaps he is cold if he isn't moving between? It is rare and I mean rare that I would see him laying on the cool side.

Thanks in advance for the help đź‘Ť
 
Thanks.

I measured inside hide and I'm getting temp of 33.5.
