Hello!
I'm getting my first ball python tomorrow! I have a heat mat for my tank. But my house is not warm enough to provide the right ambient temperature. I do have a ceramic light with a dimmer. Would it be alright to leave it on 24/7? I'm just afraid it'll cause damage over time, like over heating, starting a fire etc. The lamp is currently resting on the cages wire top. Should I hang it up?
Thank you for your time!
