I'm pretty sure that the Sun-Glow bulbs are a white light, and should not be used 24/7 because they can mess with the snake's photoperiod. An infared or ceramic heat emitter would be better.

Good luck with your snakes.

Ask any of the breeders on here what is the biggest they feed their ball pythons. I will take their word because of their experience and knowledge in this hobby. Ball pythons are not known for being real aggressive feeders and are known for going off feed for months at a time. You don't want to overfeed them and have them go off feed to let their bodies catch up with the extra size or weight.

So, how are you providing belly heat for them? :confused: And what are your temps? Do you use a digital thermometer to measure them?

Yea we do not have one single member here that knows anything about snakes :rolleyes: .We just love writing and reading our words and wishing we really knew what we were talking about!:rolleyes: :carouse: :confuse: :rofl: :rofl:

I could name 100 things you could use for an adult BP hide; a car oil-change tub. A small kitty litter box.. cardboard box.. sheesh.

If you want a good digital thermometer check lowes or walmart they have one for less then 13$ (Acu-Rite) and it look like this http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...hermometer.jpg

It will give you the temp on both sides as well as humidity level.
