    No belly heat???

    Just curious to see if anyone here does not use belly heat? I was speaking with a couple breeders who only use ambient temps for their entire collection. The breeder I spoke with leaves his room at a constant 83F-84F, and has had zero problems with health, feeding and breeding. His reasoning was ball pythons spend 90% of their time in termite mounds, and only leave that mound at night. While temps in their natural range may reach high 80’s low 90’s, they are only being exposed to the 82-84 temp range of the termite mounds and the high 70’s to low 80’s night temps. Just curious to get other opinions on this, and to see if anyone else successfully keeps their collection with this method!
