    not to be rude but have you read anything about ball python husbantry. you need at least ten more degrees in heat during the day time. 75 should be your low night temp. not to sure on the humidity, anyone else?

    Your warm side temps should always be 90-94 degrees and your cool side temps should always be 80-84 degrees. Night drops are not recommended unless you are breeding.

    Pictures would help. Thanks!
