I have a Bubblegum Rat Snake. He is my first snake and I am nervouse about his health. I have him in an aqarium qwith an undertank heating pad under half of it. I have two hide boxes in it for him and I am wondering what Frank's deal is. It seems that no matter what side I put the bigger box on he hangs out in it. Whether it is on the cooler side or the hot side he seems to like it the most. I am wondering if I purchase the same hide box so that both sides have the same size one which one will he want to be in. The only thing I really noticed with the box on the hot side is that he would burrow on the cold side. Something he didn't ever do when the bigger box was on the cold side. He also like to climb up the sides and wedge himself between the rim of the aquarium and the the lid(cage) Does this mean he is trying to cool off further?and I am keeping the cold side too hot? Any help would be great, all I want is for Frank to be happy and healthy.
