While I am a big believer in undertank heat, I think you have too much flexwatt under there resulting in a cage without enough of a cool spot. What if the flexwatt were to get too warm? There really isn't much the snake could do to get away from the excess heat.



It looks like you have about 3/4 of the cage covered by the Flexwatt. I would suggest 1/2 of even 1/4 at most.
