you realize a 50w flood light is capable of producing 155+degree surface temps at 6" right? I think that is your problems right there. Try removign the light for a few hours and see if it will stay on the perch.

i ordered the temp gun already, it should be coming in this week. and i didn't know a 50W bulb could produce that much heat.

the snake is still on the ground, and i have already talked to Bay Area Reptiles. He told me the tank is too hot, and to turn off the light or go to a lower wattage bulb, or i could look into getting heat panels.

Personally i don't even try to offer basking temps for arboreal. (spot temps)

I offer ambient temp ranges and it seems to work fine.

I also prefer to use mechanical thermometers over digital in these types of high humidity/low temps situations.

Okay, thanks for the advice, oh i turned off the light, and put the snake on the perch and so far it's staying there.

anything is possible. How are you hydrating the snake? Do you see it drink?
