Hello all,
I recently got my ball python late September, who has been feeding properly and generally looks fine. However, the cage that the vendor sold to me has 2 problems that I am worried about: the sockets for the lightbulbs are inside the cage near the snake, which makes me worried that he will burn himself (so far has not happened yet) and since it is made out of wood, I have trouble attaching a UTH, so I have to rely completely on a CHE to maintain the ambient temperature, making his sheds bad. Should I just get a new cage? It has sliding glass panels at the front of the cage to open/close it.
edit: I should mention that this is my first ball python. I had a corn snake for a while, but he escaped when a family member did not close his cage properly.
