Note that i have also the same problem with my blood python as so I posted in that forum as well.....
Ok well half my cage is covered by a controled heating pad. Thisa brings the floor temps on the hot side from 90-92. the cool side is 80 and at night the whole cage drops to 78. The weird thing is that in the hide box on the hot side during the day its 97 now i figured this is because heat is trapped in there from rising off the floor. Now if i lower the heat pad it will bring the whole hot spot to about 86 and the hide to like 90 but thats too low witht the 86 so i dont no wut to do is it ok to ju8st leave as it is becuz the python spends time in there and seems to do fine with no sign of burns and i can safely touch the floor in there and its warm not hot?
