I just received a second hand ball python. he is very healthy and active. I have him housed in a 30 gallon. I used that soft green astro-turf stuff as substrate and there are three items in the cage - on the left a big hide rock, a large rock water bowl in the middle and a large piece of driftwood on the right. I have an undertank heater on the right side of the tank underneath the wood. Intuitively, i wanted to put my 50W infrared heat bulb over the top of the wood so my python will rest out in the open where he is visible, which is also why i chose to put the hide rock on the other side (i figured the heat would lure him out). But, because he is new and nervous, he is spending all his time under the rock where it is less than 80. The other problem is that when I have the undertank heater and Bulb on the same spot, it gets to be like 105-110, which I think is too warm. What should I do? should I move the bulb over the hide rock? or maybe switch the rock and branch and put the bulb over the branch and the rock over the undertank heater... Here is a Diagram of my current setup...
