I have been wanting a ball python for about 25 years now and life has finally gotten to the point where I can.
We will be picking up this little lady in a couple of days.
So far this is my setup. Basic for now.
I have an under tank heater on the right. There is a temp probe on the bottom of the tank right in the middle of the pad to a temp controller that is turning the pad on and off. It is set at 95deg at the moment. Slowly making adjustments to see how it affects the temp in that hide.
The lamp holder on the top currently has a 100 watt ceramic heater. Cypress mulch. I have a digital thermometer/hydrometer and it shows 55% humidity and 85deg sitting right in front of the right side hide. I am going to put it in the hide here shortly and see what it reads.
Since the photo I have added some fake vines in the back middle. I am also going to pick up another light fixture and use the blue light that came with the kit. Try and get the heat up a little on the left side of the tank.
I still have to cover half the screen and start working on maintaining the humidity.
How does this look for a start? I have been doing a lot or reading and learning a lot. Looking forward to learning more.
