hai. ^^;
I don't yet have a ball python, however, I'm hoping that'll change soon once I'm able to convince my guardian.
Anyway, I'm terribly confused when it comes to heat sources. I plan on using a large plastic translucent Rubbermaid tub for an enclosure with newspaper for bedding or maybe Astro-Turf [is the turf a good substrate? I've heard it's fabulous from a few, but awful from others]
I planned on purchasing two undertank heating pads for either side and using a ceramic bulb on the left end for the warmer side of the enclosure. Is this alright? I'm not sure if I should keep the bulb burning all day and just adjusting the heating pads when needed...
Oh, and, I heard that picky eaters can be won over with gerbils and develop a taste for nothing else. Does this mean it'd be impossible to get the animal to switch back to mice/rats? Would they eat if they were hungry enough?
