Hi everyone,
I realise there is alot of debate regarding correct low and high temperatures for your Diamond Python and I have read alot of conflicting information.
I have a 3 month old Hatchling Diamond Python named Sneakers. Her enclosure is roughly 30ccm x 20cm. Inside her hide, the temperature is reading 34.5c. Outside her hide is measuring 31.1c, and at the cool end it is measuring 23.2c. All temps were taken from substrate level.
She is always in her hide when I go to handle her and everytime I return her back to the enclosure she goes straight back in there. This morning she went for a sticky beak on top of hide but now she is right back in there again.
Are my temps incorrect? If she were to hot, would she know to slither to the cool end or would she just cook herself?
If you look close enough, you can see her in her hide.
Probably sounds stupid, but she is my first and I want to make sure everything is ok.
And before anyone asks, the video player is not plugged in, it's there to stop my wooden drawers from absorbing all the heat.
Thank you in advance for all your help.
