unless the viv's in direct sunlight the cool end will be pretty much the same as the ambient room temperature. cooling fans are an option but not one i've had to resort to so far (assuming that was lee's missing link lol )
the increase in ambient temperature and increased daylight hours lets the snake know what season it is so it can act accordingly (eg. for breeding) so it's a natural cue from nature for the snake

cornsnakes, ratsnakes, Dumerils boas, BCO hybrids, Sinder Hypo boas, Day Geckos
