Thanks SDA. Have been having a nose around too.

Habistat have one that you can program 2 different temperatures on. Has anyone on here got one of these? If so any good?

And yes I have a cage on the light... *wink*

Habistat is pretty much a European thing only. I believe the latest is a pulse proportional heating method which is really the way to go for heating.

I believe this is the one I have heard of but have no experience with

There is also this digital one that I have not heard anything about.

I would recommend swapping that heat lamp light bulb for a ceramic emitter. Much better to keep running all the time and maintain proper heat.

Yep the plan is to swap to a ceramic heater. Just wanting to find an affordable night/day stat. Hoping someone UK based on here can, based on their 1st hand experience, help point me in the right direction. *smile*

Thanks again for looking though. You've been a big help.

Has anyone used this day/night stat?

To use without the additional light sensor do you plug it in to a timer to tell it when its day and night?

HabiStat Day-Night Pulse Proportional Thermostat 600W White

Also is a 100w ceramic heat eliminator the right size?

[SDA]

Ball pythons do not need or benefit from a day night heating cycle in captivity. The only time that even remotely maybe of benefit is for breeding. Outside of that there is absolutely no reason to fluctuate heating.

100 watt CHE would be more than sufficient for heating.

Oh ok, thanks. Think Ive misunderstood. So although they state the temperature shouldnt drop below 75° it doesnt matter if under the heater it is warmer ie sameish as it is in the day time?

If so them any pulse stat would be ok?

Hey all,
My name is Kris and I just started with BP's about three months ago. Eventually would love to make my two girls breeders! I have an albino at about 175g right now and a Bumblebee who's around 160g and they are growing up fast.

Also breeding mice because I have a bunch of friends who also have snakes and we have been having issues getting mice up here in NH. Not my first rodeo with Mice, I use to breed them for my red belly piranha. To start I have three females, I put one female in with the male, then a week later another and so on. So the first female should be giving birth this week. I'm interested to see how big her litter is.

But I'm excited to be here and to learn from you guys and gals! I'm definitely very DRAMA FREE Zone with my life, I know sometimes people are keyboard warriors but that's definitely not me so no worries!

Hi all

We now have a gorgeous female Ball Python called Coco so thought I'd join here to learn more etc about her care, needs and knowledge of snakes as a whole.

Be gentle with me, this is my first forage into the snake world... lol.

And yes, expect and please excuse any silly questions. I now Im on a very steep learning curve. But want to get Coco's care right first time... *thumbs up*

Her viv is the one on the right
