I recently rescued a ball python and was given her enclosure too. Enclosure is a 40 gallon glass bioactive and I plan on upgrading after the holidays to a 4x2x2 pvc. The only heat/light sources they gave me and was using with her was a DHP and a grow light. No thermostat. I hooked up an extra thermostat I had but I’m having trouble maintaining temps. Cold side is reading 69-71. Warm side is reading 78-79. She has a warm log hide that is also the basking spot that currently reads 105-111. She seems fine in it and I’ve caught her basking, laying around the hottest spot. Should I move the DHP to the cold side and add a halogen light for basking to increase the temps? I’m just concerned that the basking spot is too hot and not sure how to heat the enclosure without making it hotter. It doesn’t feel that warm to me and maybe I’m just being paranoid? First time with a bioactive enclosure and never had this much trouble before. I also read adding insulation would help. Currently there is plastic taped to the top except where the DHP is, there’s foil with a cut out for the DHP. I have some 2x4 pieces of 1/2 inch styrofoam, would those work for the outside?
