First ball python!!

Handsome little guy. When did you pick him up?

Do you know how much he weighs?

[gameonpython]

I got him on Tuesday. No, I don't know how much he weighs, but planning on getting a scale.

What are you using for a heat lamp?

[gameonpython]

I'm not using a heat lamp, just a heat pad.

you definitely need one of those. When you get one, make sure to get a red bulb for it so it emulates night time. Snakes are most active during night and prefer the red light since it makes them feel hidden.

That would make it too hot

Not at all hun.

I run a uth on my tank, and switch between a red night and blue daytime one.

My temps are right on the mark.

When you say heat pad, do you mean a heating pad, or one of the ones you can stick to the bottom (or side) of your tank?

[gameonpython]

Yeah the zoomed one that sticks to bottom of tank

This link might help you too with any other questions you have, but I'd definitely get a red heat bulb for sure. Just my opinion.
