Hi, ive had my ball python for just over a month, im new to owning snakes, * i had yellow bellied turtles before *
Id like to know a few things about my snake so i can understand more about it,

1. I keep seeing different temperature requirements on the hot side on different forums, i did have one bulb that was an exo terra 75w red heat bulb and with the digital probe placed at the back far corner of the vivarium it was going up to stupidly hot numbers like 103/105 degrees! straight away i got a white bulb that was 50w by mistake *i asked for a red one* is the white bulb alright for the 12 hours in the day?

2. Also, at night i turn the light off being as its white and the temperature goes to about 75.2 degrees, is this alright for night temperatures?

I dont own a UTH or a thermostat as im currently tight for money with car insurance coming up in the next 2 weeks

3. Ive weighed the ball python at 113 grams, its around 20 inches long and has a kind of triangular shape to it, im currently planning to feed it every 5 days from now until it sort of fills out in a way, as i dont feel that it is healthy enough, is this okay to do? because ive read about powerfeeding or whatever can reduce the lifespan of the snake?

Thanks for your time if you answer it
