Hi,

I just got a baby ball python (120g, male, heterozygous Mojave). He is currently set up in a 10-gallon tank with a hide and a water dish. I don't have a heating pad yet so I am using a regular desk lamp to help heat up the air temperature for tonight. My apartment is kept relatively warm close to 70F. Tomorrow I am getting an under-the-tank heating pad, but I just want to make sure he'll be okay for the time being. Will the white light irritate him? I don't have a red bulb or thermal emitter either. Advice is appreciated.

Thanks
