I aim for 85 and it ranges from 82 to 87. Since my little guy spends digesting and pre-shed times in his warm hide, is mellow, and is eating, pooping and shedding well it seems to be working out.
 
My "hot side" stays at 85, and the "cool side" stays at 75. I don't use a Thermostat, I use a Rheostat. They are about the same thing except a Rheostat does not have a probe and it does not turn the heater on and off. The heater stays on all the time but with a Rheostat I adjust the amount of amperage going to it thus making it Heat more or Heat less.

I used a hand held infrared thermometer to actually measure the glass after it had time to heat up. It took me about 2 hours to dial in the correct temps, but ever since I got it set, it stays there. Every time I do a cage cleaning now I check the temps with the infrared, and so far they are remaining constant.
 
Thanks a lot guys.
Im having a small problem.
She just finished recovering her feeding plan from the regurge a few weeks ago.
So her first regular 2 pinky feeding was to take place tonight, she ways around 17.27 grams.
I gave her the first one, she finished it, then I moved the 2nd one in but she wasn't interested. Thats very unusual, she hasnt ever denied food. Is there anything I should do? I'm not so worried, but its just rather unusual.
 
2nd post:
I fed her last 5 days ago. Perhaps I should try tomorow?
Also, I tried for about 5 - 10 mins, still wasnt interested.
She did this little bluff strike, not opening her mouth, just bimped it with her nose.
I think she got annoyed or something.
Please respond ASAP.
 
A snake can live 2 or 3 months without food. If she hasn't eaten in a few days it's no big deal. Just try it again later. She will eat when she needs to. Maybe you are feeding her too much and too often. Most of us only feed our animals 1 mouse per feeding. If you are feeding 2, and she's not eating the 2nd one, then obviously she doesn't want it.
 
H3y guys, so yuesterday we had a scare. I came home to check on her as usual. And I wantred to hold her before I went to sleep and I check everything in the cage so we tore apart the house only to find her here. Luckily my mother decided to realllly inspect everything and saw her here. She backed herself all the way into the top if the log making her invisibl

In other news, she really likes the new heating pad. She tends to spend all day (in 84 - 88 degree temps) in her warm hide and then she tends to stay in the cold hide at night,
which stays around 73-75 degrees. I also stuck that LED light on top only for the day.

Hopefully im not driving you guys crazy, but this is another update :p.
I fed her Thursday, and she finally took the 2nd one.
Took her a minute, but she finally struck it and ate it. I havent held her since last tuesday,
and I dont plan to hold her until tomorow night.
