Hey everyone

so so I was wondering about how long should I keep my ball python's heat pad plugged in. I've had
beardies and I currently have a turtle, who's heat came from a lamp and of course, those should go off
at night; My fishes heater turns on/off automatically to keep the temperature steady. But being my first snake, I'm unsure wether I give him heat in cycles ( 12 hrs on/12 hrs off) or have his heat on continually.
