Soaking in water
I noticed ziggy my ball python is soaking for the first time since about 2 years when I got up this morning I am currently looking for a temperature controller to help regulate water temp when the heat lamp is over the water dish is there someone who has one that can direct me to a website? Current water temp is 79/79.3 saw best water temp 80-85 degrees

You don't need to regulate the water temp separately as long as the temperature gradient in the cage is acceptable.
But if a person does need a thermostat, this is the right option:

The water temp is fine. I would look into why he's soaking. Low humidity would be my first guess, but I'd check for mites too.

Re: Soaking in water
Ok thank you I have a che with a sensor in the hide out that ranges 78-85 the reason for that difference is the height of the terrarium air temp and if he goes in to the hide out after a while

Re: Soaking in water
I added water to the bedding and that’s my first thought but I haven’t taken him out of the house in a while because of work and apt I have been trying to check whenever I have him out and didn’t see any but will definitely check

Re: Soaking in water
That is a humidity gauge reading 66 % I have a heat sensor wherever there is a heat source

If an RH meter sitting on the substrate reads 66%, the RH of the air in the enclosure is lower than that unless the substrate is fully dry (i.e. is in equilibrium with the RH of the air). Putting RH meters in contact with damp substrate shortens their life, too, since water can condense on the sensor and damage it.
