5yr old 8ft het albino female goes to the cold side every night and the warm side every day. IR temps of her at night are about 82F, during the day 87-88F. She did this same thing last year and had a litter of 15 stills and 6 premature live even though she went a week past her POS due date. Last year she was bred to a very small anery het snow and this year I tried the same pairing but both are considerably larger. Any thoughts? I thought females were supposed to hug the heat and stay at a steady 87 or so? Warm side is 90F via heat panel, cold side about 82-84F. She has to be gravid, too. Two distinct swells and a POS about 2 weeks ago. Thanks for your help guys,

Jack
