I have a 5mth old corn snake, still not sure on what breed he is, but my main question is Heating. I have had him for 2 weeks now, his eating habits are good, but I am wondering about the temperature.
I am using a heat lamp, with a 75w bulb. On the heat side I have about 80-82 deg, and in the shade is about 78 deg. I have the light on for 15 hrs a day, and then turn it off before I go to bed. The temperature then, drops to about 73-75 deg. He has been basking a lot in the heat side, ever since monday when he ate.
So my question is, is the temp. good, or should it be raised, or what should I do?
Thnx
