I just picked up my BP Saturday. Here's a link to my pics thread. http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showthread.php?t=39583 Sunday I went out and purchased alot of the proper parts for caring for Hercules. The heat rock is out which had been his only form of heat and I have a UTH in now. I need to get the heat much higher in the tank and I'm looking for suggestions. The Tank is a 55Gal. 48x13 and has a plastic divider in the center. The current lid is two sections and it's vented plastic. It appears screws should be loosened to slide a locking mechanism in each corner. I am guessing for another source of heat the best would be a lamp or ceramic type bulb hooked to a thermostat? If this is the case I would need to replace the plastic lids which I wish to do anyway. I am having a really difficult time finding something to work. If anyone has suggestions on lid or extra heat please let me know. Thanks.......
