Answer
Hey Cody,
As long as you are talking air temp. If you have a 100 degree spot where you snake can sit on or touch I would recommend you drop it by at least 8 degrees. The cooler side is right on.

To help with the shed you should mist within the tank daily. This will help increase the humidity level.

Hope this helps,
Eric
