i just fed my new 1.5yr old female and 2yr old male for the first time since i got them. they both went straight to the cool side (77-79) and have been there the last three days. i've gotten used to my 5-6 mo old colmb/suri mix spending three days or so in his hot spot after he eats.
i'm still tuning up their new encloser, so i just get paranoid.
any thoughts?
oh yea, and the hot spot for them is running about 88-90 and the flexwatt is definatly not too hot for them.
these are pics of my encloser.
the two on the middle level are going to be seperated as soon as i finish the bottom level.
you may also notice the ugly patch on the legs. i had to cut it to get it in my house. lol. i'm working on fixing that though. my fiance is being real patient with my, thankfully.
I wouldn't worry too much, as long as you have the temperature gradient you described. They will go where they need to go.
However, you might want to put a few more hiding spots in there - one on the warm side and one on the cool side, in case they are nervous about being seen. Some boas like to hide, especially when they are vulnerable after eating.
Otherwise, your temps sound good and the cages look large enough to provide a good range of temps in my opinion.
