Ok so ive read a bunch of websites and a bunch of books on ball pythons and alot have them have different answers to things.

is this page a good one?

im kinda confused on how all this is suppose to work.
i have a 27 inch ball python in a ten gallon with a water bowl, vines, and aspen bedding (and of course the heat lamp and a humidity and heat thermometer) and they keep mentioning these "hidy houses" but a ten gallon is too small for a hidy house. So how is that suppose to work? and that page also says to keep them away from the lamp..so u clamp the lamp to the cage...well my ten gallon has a screen lid -.- duh. So i dont get how that person fits one or two hidy houses in a ten gallon and clamps a light to the cage. O.o im having a hard time with that...

Soo i may not have worded that very well but if you can help that would be great. and as far as heat goes what would you say is the ideal temp? and what wattage is good?
