too cool?

65 is lower than ideal, but if you're relying on ambient air for that side, there's not a lot you can do. Try covering that end of the viv with plastic wrap or a towel (don't worry, it'll still get plenty of air). You could also aim a heat emitter on that side (I do this with Butter's bin) to bump it up some.

Most importantly, make sure that there are multiple hides between the two extremes. You don't want you snake to have to choose between 2 spots with a 20 degree spread.
 
Mine get down to 65F in the winter on the cool side. I wouldn't let it get any colder than that, though.

I would agree about plenty of hides, including one in the middle. I had some trouble last year and put curtains on three sides of my shelving unit to keep any drafts out and also direction a table lamp towards the cool end. It didn't shed a lot of heat, but enough to keep the ambient temp up to where I felt it was more comfortable for them.
 
Sounds like you've been given some good advice for your corn snake by the corn snake enthusiasts who replied in this thread posted in the husbandry forum of this corn snake site. :grin01:
 
Hmm I think Dean must be implying something about how you're talking about king snake husbandry.....maybe :shrugs:

Yeah, but I was just messin' around. :) Yes, a kingsnake husbandry question belongs in the General Chit Chat subforum, and I knew he was referring to a king's care. BUT, he never specified that he was asking a king care question, and a Cali and a corn have nearly identical care requirements, so moving the thread was unnecessary.
