Hes learning about snakes. They have many methods of thermoregulating. Of course moving up and down is one, and back and forth is another. With side heat, you can do both.



In this case, he is trying to duplicate what he sees wild snakes doing(WHATS IN YOUR CRACK) hahahahahahahahahaha



I would hope he takes that a lot farther. That is, use much larger stacks and a wider range of temps. As in, the top areas getting too hot(like nature) and the snake can pick from a range of temps by moving up and down in a series of cracks.



In this case, hes not doing anything different then bottom heat, its the same but on the side.



If he provides a range of crack temps, then he can see the snake move from temp to temp to accomadate its needs.



But YES, he is getting it right.



There are other reasons to keep snakes then treating them like cards(morphs) There is joy and entertainment in actually learning and working with the living snakes. Cheers
