I just got my first ball python who is a male pastel about a month old. I have him set up in a 10 gallon aquarium. I am using a ZooMed 10-20 gallon UTH setup to a hydrofarm thermostat set at 97 degrees to get the top of the bedding around 90 degrees. Im using a little less then a half inch of cypress mulch to keep the humidity up and I have a 50 watt red heat lamp to warm the air temperature because my house is around 65 degrees in the winter. I have 2 identical hides with a large water dish. I just have a few quick questions. Even with the heat pad set to 97 and not much bedding if I turn the heat lamp off the top of the substrate drops to around the low 80's. Should I keep the lamp on even at night? Some care sheets say a drop in night temps and some do not recommend it. Also is 50 watts sufficient for a 10 gallon aquarium with a UTH? Or should I bump the wattage up? And also I have a humidity question. With the heat lamp on the humidity drops down to 40-50% but as soon as the lamp goes off with just the heat pad running it rises to 60-70%. I have more then half the screen lid covered with foil to keep heat and humidity in. The problem is my house is dry from the heat running and kind of chilly because of the climate right now. I just got him yesterday and I want to make sure his setup is stable. Any input will be greatly appreciated!
