New setup... Advice?
Hi all! =) My name is Mike, new here. Thought I'd say hello, and ask for a bit of advice. Would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.
This week I bought a new ball python. I'm really excited, it's been a long time since I've had a snake. He's a ball python, lesser platinum morph. Absolutely gorgeous. Want to make sure I've got him nice and cozy. Here's what I have for his setup:
40g tank with sliding / locking screen lid, with matching stand (also, going to take it to a window tinting place, and have thin black vinyl applied to the back and sides)
ZooMed combo mini dome- 100W infra-red for day, 75W black heat-glo for night
ZooMed 36" T-8 fixture with ReptiSun 2.0 bulb (for day)
Zilla digital power center for the lights, so there's a photo cycle
ZooMed large UTH (on the side with the heat lamps)
ZooMed infra-red thermometer
Fluker's digital therm / hygrometer
Tropic Aire humidifier / air exchanger powered by a Rena pump
Cypress mulch substrate, and plenty of hiding spots and branches, big water dish
Temperature: Hot side of the tank is 85 degrees at bottom of tank, 90-92 at the basking branch under the light. Hot side drops to around 80 degrees at night with the black light. Cool side of the tank is right around 75.
Humidity stays at 50-55%.
Think that's about it. If anyone has thoughts or suggestions, would love to hear them. Thank you!
