Could you guys let me know what temperatures you use for your bull snakes? Have read a lot of conflicting information. Currently have mine at 85-75 during the day with a five degree drop at night, but suspect this may be a little warm.

Mine are in the basement and have access to a basking spot that is 85-87 degrees. At night they cool to whatever the basement is usually 70-72 degrees. I have a red heat lamp that stays on 24-7 in the tegu enclosure and for the leopard geckos. That keeps temps a little higher in that corner of the basement. Otherwise, it would cool to 68-70. Hope this helps.

Sounds similar to my setup. Mine seems to be burrowing a great deal, possibly because the room it's in gets warmer throught the day at the moment. Thanks for your help!
