    Don't try too fast, just put them in their enclosure with proper parameters.

    This is what I would do at first. Once they're up to normal temperatures, would it be beneficial to increase their temps and humidity slightly, as if they were in the early stages of RI? I've never had this happen and saw the OP's other thread on the FedEx screw-up. I really hope the little guys are ok...

    I'm inclined to say you should keep them at ambient temps 70-80 for a few hours before turning on the hot spot. Rapid temp. change is bad for living things in general.

    Re: Cold Ball Pythons...

    Put them in there tubs and moved the tub off the hot spot for around 2 1/2 hours so they would warm up slowly..just moved the tub back a little towards the heat tape..now the question is should i up the temps to 92 93... Thanks for all the help..

    Honestly after they are warmed up it wouldn't hurt to bump it up to say 92 for a lil while

    Why would you keep them colder for a bit? Unless I'm reading that wrong. I would think it would be best to immediately start to slowly warm them up to their normal temps...

    No matter what you do with temps, I'm not sure I'd play with humidity levels at all while they're still warming up. Just keep it at the standard 50%, would be my advice. No need to provoke an RI with unstable temp and high humidity.
