Eek just checked ketchup's digi thermometer, 38.6degrees C! Did some mat and sensor shuffling and the absolute hottest point is 31. Still not happy with that, gonna get her a viv this week, don't like glass tanks :D still, gorgeous snake!

I know, she seemed fine, but I want to keep it fluctuating by a slightly lesser amount just for peace of mind :)

31 is ok, but not ideal for an all round temp, even 38 isnt that bad, its not hot enough to burn.
Thing with temps is, they are not gonna have a thermostat set to 28 degrees in the wild, it fluctuates, it can be as high as 40 degrees in the direct sunlight, and surfaces will be hotter, and the temps will never be the same from day to day.
So, temp fluctuations arent always a bad thing, they can deal with it.
