Themerature gradients
I am getting a 20 gallon long ready for my first ball python. I have been working on the heat for about 2 days now. Is this acceptable: cold area: about 72%, warm area about 82%, and hot area about 93%. I have an inexpensive thermostat in the cage now since I can't afford a couple of good ones until next month. Will these temperatures be good enough.
Thanks,
Krazybob

Re: Themerature gradients
I have 3 digital thermometers in there with probes. That's how I am getting the temperatures. I also have a digital withhygrometer. The humidity is about 70%. I have a board over most of the cage blocking the screen. Most of the cage, about 80% is between 85-95%. The area on the far end is cooler. I guess I will put my smallest uth on that end and see if it brings it up to an acceptable level. I was thinking that from right to left 75% - 85% - 95% would be a good gradient for him

Re: Themerature gradients
The only gradient needs to be from 82 cool side to 92 hot side. Nothing below 80, except during breeding. If you have temps below 80 degrees then you risk an upper respiratory infection. I keep mine at 83 cool and 93 hot.
I'm located in Memphis.
