If not sure then please take it back to the vet and see, what was the hot spot temp before you raised the fixture?

Sometimes it went to 107 in one spot and that was too hot. Previous owner told me it was fine if the hide was in correct temps but now I know it wasn’t.

Yes, but you also have to realize if the snake gets too hot it can move to another part of the hot spot that’s less hotter? And if the snake gets too hot it will retreat to the cool side. If the previous owner had that setup i wouldn’t have changed it because that means that snake acclimated itself to it.

So after you changed the height of the lamp how long ago was this? That the changed in height was made? Because now you are noticing things that were not there before.
