So I just bought a new ball python today, and the lady at the pet store said that it could go the 36 hours without an under tank heater, my house is always running hot, about 80 in the room i put it. So on Friday im going to get it a under tank heater. I have been looking around and some sites have said that they need a basking light, and then some are saying no bright lights so im confused on what to do.
Also tonight when I came home from work it was curled up under a branch, and then i moved the branch to double check everything was ok and it balled up. and its been about 2 hours and i have been glancing at its cage, and its loosened up a little but its still in a ball like form but with its head mostly out. Am I just being stupid and everything is ok? I'm just a little nervous, thanks
