With the temperature gradient and both snakes pushing their hides around it makes it difficult to keep them at a specific temperature. The middle cage is probably a little warmer also. I remember seeing them at temperatures of 79 or 80 up to 84 or 85. I just didn't pay that much attention to the temps as long as it was in that range. Maybe next year I will put a brick on top of their hides to keep them in one spot. It would be nice to reduce the gestation times, get babies earlier and get the moms feeding earlier also. Dan
