New to being a python owner

Not exactly. I rarely see him poop, despite soaking him every day/every other day. And when he does, it's a little whiteish lump surrounded by yellow-brown stuff, which I dont think is normal from what Ive researched. As for peeing, I'm not sure. Ive only see him pee once and thats because he peed on me when I pulled him out of his soaking bin.

Also I wanted to ask is he peeing & popping regularly?

That white lump is 100% normal its a Urate which is them peeing, Most will not release a full "Wet" soaker pee unless they also defecate!

1.0 = male
0.1 = female
0.1.0 = (the 1 in the middle) means unsexed.

that is incorrect. unsexed is 0.0.1 . 0.1.0 means: no male, one female, no unsexed individual. the first two digits are for male and female, the third one is added only for unsexed individuals and only if necessary.

The lights are what is killing your humidity. Try getting a uth that covers 1/3 of the BOTTOM of the tank that way its not touching the foil on top. Then look for a thermostat in your price range, one very affordable thermostat is the hydrofarm thermostat you can order this on amazon for roughly $40. The thermostats are very easy to use with the uth and by cutting out the lights you will save alot of humidity! Also what type of hygrometers are you using are they the stick on the glass hygrometers or digital probed hygrometers

I heard that theyre dangerous though and snakes can get burned. Also, Im using the ones that stick to the glass.

They are dangerous if not regulated by a thermostat also the stick to the glass hygrometers are very inaccurate I recommend buying an accu-rite hygrometer so you can properly check your humidty levels

Oh. Thanks for the clarification don't know where this decimal system came from but it seems like it would just be easier to say male & female then have to explain the numbers to people lol.

Get an indoor/outdoor digital thermometer with hygrometer....very cheap and much more accurate for your enclosure. You can find them on ebay or walmart online. Also the hydrofarm heater can be found on ebay too. (Actually listed for plants) Good luck.

Just wanted to let everyone know that Frederick was euthanized tonight. When I went in to check on him his head was sticking out of his hide at a weird angle. I took him out and he was super tense. Within a few minutes his jaw went slack and he curled up and went semi-limp. He still had wrinkles skin and odd red patches on his side where his edema was. I took him to the ER vet where she sedated and then euthanized him humanely. He went really quickly and peacefully.
