This is my first ball python, the place i bought her from said nothing about a UTH or anything really, other than needing a heat lamp to keep temps adjusted.

Is belly heat really needed? If so, what is the best way to go, as well as what is the cheapest, safe route i can take??

Im fairly low on funds at the moment, but if i have to i can dip into savings to make sure she is safe and comfortable.

Thanks in advance
