Will the snake use the 30 deg C area after feeding? Or when in a shed cycle?



It is normal for snakes to use a range of temps. Albeit, tropical snakes live in areas of humidity and fairly narrow temperature ranges. I still trust the snake's judgment over what a book says, as long as the snake is healthy.



Young snakes heat up quickly and cool off quickly, so they move around.



Humidity is very important, moreso than holding 30 deg C. Does the enclosure provide moderate to high humidity? or a humid hide? Does the snake have secure hides in the warm, cool and inbetween area?
