Actually, no I'm not incorrect. You check with your "big guys" and you'll not find a single one that routinely keeps their "hot side" at or above 90. I promise. Where prey tell would a ball python find temps that high in the wild? (remember that they are nocturnal and burrowing....they would avoid temps that high at all costs).

The problem with a hatchling is that their insecurity will keep them in a temp zone that is not appropriate....defeating the concept of a thermal gradient...
