Ball pythons temperature

I was just curious I heard a lot of different answers just wanted some more opinions on what the temperature should be on the warm side of my tank

88 to 95 degree SURFACE of what your reptile can touch temperature.
What are you using for a heat source?
What are you using to regulate your heat source?

Right now I have a day time lamp and a 150 watt heat lamp I use both during the day and the just the heat lamp at night the warm side usually stays around 85 and the cool side is around 78-80

What are you using to measure your temps and please don't tell me its the stick on analogs LoL
Digital is the way to go and you want to know the surface temp, not the ambient.

What would you recommend for thermostat and humidity readers and what would I use to get the surface temp

The best thing is to go to Lowes or Home Depot and get a temp gun (no contact) thermometer.
They will give you a good reading.

Ok so warm side around 93 surface temp and what should the humidity be?

Humidity should be about 50-60% from what I've read and heard, but I am not experienced in this so don't just take it from me. In fact, just bought my first ball python today:)


2 whites tree frogs

depends on your snake. 50% normal and bump it up during shed.
I don't go by an exact number anymore. I keep it where I get clean sheds.
