Where do you have the probe placed on the glass or top of the substrate.

On the glass

How big is the tank, how cold is the room, and what type of bulbs are you using? (regular household light bulbs, heat bulbs, other?)

If you aren't using a UTH then I would move the thermometer probe closer to the surface of the substrate

30 gal tank and im using the red heat bulds how far under the substance should i place the probe

I would put it just under the surface.

Are you using bulbs like these: http://m.petsmart.com/mt/www.petsmar...ductId=2752598

Or these: http://m.petsmart.com/mt/www.petsmar...uctId=11147193

The 100wt is the second one and the 75wt is the first one

I agree put your probe on the surface right under the hide that way you know the temp where your bp is laying.

I highly suggest getting an uth and thermostat though. Using that amount of heat lamps is going to suck out almost all your humidity. Which can cause all sorts of problems with shedding.

Ill readjust the probe when i get home and well see what the temps turn out to be then and ill update u guys

So after the prob adjustment (witch is now right under the substrate) here are my new temps im pretty happy with it http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/11/8aqete2e.jpg

Looks good just monitor it so that 92 doesnt go higher.

Ball pythons should not need to be in 90 degree ambient air temperature.

The hot spot can/should be around 90-92 but the ambient air temp should be closer to 86 to 87 on the warm side and 78-80 cool side.

I agree with getting a uth and thermostat.
Those lights will kill all or most of the humidity and the snake might have some rough sheds if you leave it like this.

I don't have a UTH, I use a 100w bulb on a 20L tank all I use is a wet towel over the mesh top and my humidity is fine. If I need to bump it I just must it down.
