One thing I have noticed with all of my snakes except the hognoses is that they spend 95% of their time in the cool ends of their rubs!

The milksnake spends some time in his warm end but the corns never seem to, temps are mid 70s cool end and 89 ish warm end.

The bigger snakes are in 50L RUBs and the smaller ones in medium flat faunairums and all do the same. The warm end temps are at the higher end of the range but would this be enough to stop them using the warm ends?

I should add that temps are measured with an infra-red temp gun.

I only ever find mine at the warm end first thing in the morn or sometimes in eve..

They won't bask unless they need to, in a captive enviroment where the temps are very stable thy have far less need to do it than in the wild. You could drop the temps a bit.

The only thing my corns do in the warm end is take a dump :lol2:
