Re: Ambient temperature for bp
It may drop that low, but in their rodent burrows, isn't it warmer than that due to retained heat from the sun? And that is where they spend 90% of their time.

OR is it cooler being insulated from the heat of the sun underground??
Ponder on that one for a while.....................
Re: Ambient temperature for bp
Touchè. But from what I've read from "expert" studies, it's like insulation. Cooler than the direct sun, but stays warmer from being heated by the sun, than the outside air temps when it's cooler. I think a trip to Africa is in order. ;)

Could just ask a couple of the members here that went with Brian from BHB :gj:
I would think the difference would be how deep the burrow is :confusd:
Re: Ambient temperature for bp
Good point. They dig down deeper to get cool. Come closer or go outside to get warmer.

Idk, I keep my ambients at 84-88° give or take and everything is doing great. No hotspots, just room heat.
I like my Dubstep to go Wop Wop Wop Wop

Ball pythons are active at night so I would think that ball pythons at some point would come out at night to eat or something.

Re: Ambient temperature for bp
My ambient tub temps have been ~75-78F. Never below 75. My room is ~73-76F. I've not had any issues with feeding/shedding or seen any signs of illness at all. Come summer, when things are warmer outside, the ambient temps I'm sure will be 80-82, as I keep my house 78-80F. I have a hotspot for them with my UTH of 90-92F.
