snakey not to active-advice needed

hi guys and gals,
i have recently moved my bredl into a new enclosure which is alot bigger and since going in there he has not been to active,prefering to just sit on the bottom of the enclosure even at night when he is usually more active. I have a 75 watt spot light which is on for 12 hrs a day and the temp under the light is around 31 degrees and i also have a 75 watt night light on which stays on 24/7.
my temp gradiant is around 31 up the top half and around 22 on the floor. Does this sound ok or should i change something?? i also have a fluro on 12hrs a day just to give a bit more light as my room doesnt get any sun.

cheers
damian

everything sounds alright.. how long ago did you move him in there... if the snake has been in a smaller enclosure for a while it will take a bit for him to get use to the bigger one... just make sure you've got lots of hides at both ends for him to feel safe..

depending on how old it is... i would say move it back to a smaller enviroment... it will feel more secure and in turn make him enjoy his enclosure more?!?! just my two cents
