    My Ball Python Escape, I found Her, just a question.

    Hey There, I Just got my first Ball Python about 5 days ago, she is a few months old, about 160 grams i think. Everything has been going great! except i have been fighting a humidity issue. Its been around 85-90% So i took my lid off (lexan) and melted a few more holes in it. Solved the high humidity right away! Problem is i must have made one of the holes too big. Anyway Last night I fed her for the first time, ate right away with no issues. I went to be at about 12am and she was happily in her Hide. I wake up for work at 6am to find her Missing! i tore apart my room and finally found her in my computer room one room over. I keep my room where she is really warm about 75 degrees to keep her temps up to normal. But my computer room is super cold, about 62 degress. She was so Cold so i put her on my belly to warm her up, when she started moving around i put her back in her Cage. Also i noticed she did not regurgitate her meal, so that is good.

    Now for the question, (sorry for the text wall)
    Do you think she is going to be okay, or might the cold temps for the night cause an RI or anything else. I am super worried, and have totally fallen in love with her, and it is just really worrying me, am i over reacting?

    thank you

    Anything is possible, but she should be ok. Make sure she cannot escape again and try to make sure that she does not have a reason to want to escape (husbandry is good).

    If she is moving and didn't regurgitate she should be fine. Keep an eye on her for a couple days to make sure

    That cold side is fine. If you an keep those numbers consistent and your heat source is on a thermostat, I think it sounds good. She'll be fine.
