    Question about temperature for my BP

    Hello everyone, I just got my first ball python yesterday. I have a question about the temperature. First, I live in Thailand so the climate is pretty hot here. At noon, the temperature reached 91.4 F and at night, I open an air conditioner, so the temperature dropped to 79 F. Well, I know that BP would be happy at 90 F for warm spot and 80 F for cool spot, but for my case, would my snake be fine??

    Thank you for your answers ^ ^

    I would imagine that you shouldnt have any problems in that temperature range.
    What is the humidity like?

    Well, it's 60% at noon and 50% at night

    [anicatgirl]: Actually it's ambient temp. my enclosure isn't big enough for creating proper heat gradient.

    91 is probably too warm for ambient.... I think 80 is recommended. It will have no way to drop it's temp to a regulated number. My understanding is that they try to maintain 88 degrees internally, ish. Pics of setup?

    Re: Question about temperature for my BP

    Well, Im thinking about moving him to a living room where the temp. is around 88-90 F before me and my family go out and move him back to my bedroom when we come back because we usually making a lot of noise(talking, watching TV, playing games, etc.) My question is will it get stressed being moved 2 times a day??

    anicatgirl: I will take a pic of an enclosure and show it to you tomorrow.

    Thank you for your answer
