I fed my corn snake this morning using frozen pinkies, and defrost it in hot boiling water, later I came home to find the pinkie regurgitated. The temperature on one side of the tank is at 80 F acording to my thermonitor. The snake for some reason spends more time on the other side of the tank (the cool part). I used a 75 watt blacklight as my heating source. What should I do now ?

The pinky probably didnt set well because you put it in boiled water and pretty much cooked it.

I tend to agree but do you use a thermometer with a probe to check your temps or do you use a tick on type. Also......The use of a Under Tank Heater (uth) is prefer because in helps with belly heat to digest food. Cool temp could be a cause too.

Stick thermomiters are horrible at accurecy. Chuck it and get a digital thermomiter with a probe.You can get uth for about.. what 10 bucks online and well you need a thermostat to control it
