I recently adopted a baby ball python from someone who couldnt have her in their apartment. I am using a tub setup without a rack with two hides, one on the heated side and one on the cool side. The tub holds humidity well, but I am worried about the ambient temp in the tub. Right now I have a zoo med UTH covering about 1/3 of the bottom of the tub, and a space heater heating the room as hot as I can get it.So my question is, how important is ambient heat compared to belly heat? Is it necessary to heat the entire room, or would she be ok in a room temperature room (around 70 degrees) with just a heat pad to lay on? Ive watched many videos and some people make it seem like all they need is a UTH because they only need belly heat, others seem to completely disagree so I am very confused on this subject. Thanks in advance.
