Semi vicious Baby Ball Python

Check out what reptile basics and animal plastics has to offer.

70 temp???
That is much too low. The hot side needs to be 88-92 approximately, while the cool side closer to 80.

And having a snug hide on the cool and hot side will help.

Hold on.. bigger does not equal better with Ball pythons.

Your temperatures are not correct and that is the most likely source of your BP's irruption.

First off does your heating pad have a thermostat regulating it? if not it can/will get hot enough to kill your snake. thermostats are not optional they are necessary.

Do not waste your money on the thermostats sold at pet stores. they are junk. here are 2 good thermostats:

The hydrofarm thermostat, sold on Amazon for $30 these are the minimum both in cost and safety. these will work but should be replaced with a better thermostat when possible.

The Herpstat is the best thermostat on the market currently. They are very accurate and have multiple safety features. Starting at $99

Your cage needs to have a hot side that is between 88-92 degrees and a cool side that is between 78-82 degrees. No part of the cage should ever be colder than 75 or hotter than 95.
