Hey everyone...figured I oughta post some pics.
Don't have a name for him yet, but this is the albino ball python I bought on August 13th. He hatched on July 11th, and he had eaten 3 meals by the time I got him. First pic was taken the day after I got him into his new home.
His home is a 29 gal. tank.
The top reading on the Accurite digital thermometer/hygrometer I bought is from the temperature probe buried under his substrate on top of the glass tank bottom immediately above the UTH. Prior to getting a dimmer for the UTH the temperature on the hot-spot was 110 degrees F (now down to a more reasonable 95 degrees F thanks to the dimmer I bought).
I control the UTH temperature using a lamp dimmer I bought at Home Depot.
Since I use a UTH, I don't normally use the heat lamp.
As you can see, I've covered most of the tank lid in the hopes of upping the humidity.
Was hoping to get some pics of him tonight (first pic you saw ^^^ was from my wife's cell phone, so I wanted to get some better ones on the digital camera), but he was hunkered-down.
And of course when he did start to come out of his hide I went all paparazzi on him and made him shy away from the camera, but I managed to get a couple shots of him.
There he is ^^^ retreating from my flash-photography intrusion.
Finally...thanks for having me here...this forum's great and I'm learning a lot!
