[zombie&lemons]

i just got my rheostats in and i was wondering what temp should i adjust them too for night? i need to know hot spot temp and ambient temp

[Stewart_Reptiles]

Keep your temps constant 24/7

No night drop needed. Makes it easy doesn't it?

[JeffJ]

sure does

[zombie&lemons]

not to argue but in the wild life wouldn't the temps drop at night even in africa on the equator

Ball pythons naturally live in termite mounds which do a very good job of keeping a stable temp.

No night drops needed. Why make it more difficult then it needs to be?

ok cool just wanted to know

now ill be up all night getting the temp right

[zombie&lemons]

let me know if this is ok at night i have the hot side around 85 with a basking spot around 90 and the cool side around 80

during the day i try to manage the warm side around 90 with a basking around 95 with a cool side about 85

are these ideal temps

"Ball pythons thrive at ambient temperatures of 80-85*F during the day and will tolerate 78-80*F at night. Additionally ball pythons will utilize a basking area of 88-95*F, which should cover one-quarter to one-third of the enclosure" --Source: Ball Pythons in Captivity by Kevin McCurley; p. 12

I don't think anyone else here would have more experience with these critters than that man....
