In our experiance it seems that our gravid females will spend all their time on the warm side and only venture to the cool side to get a drink or early in the evening for about an hour. We leave the hot spot at 90 and allow the other side to drop to about 76-80. Being in Southern California most of the year we have nice weather and allows us to do this with limited problems. HOpe this helps you with your issues....
