As some of you have seen, I've been trying to make sure I'm doing everything right. For my baby ball pythons terrarium, I've been using just a heating lamp. Some have said that a heating pad is a must, but the more I research the more I'm seeing that people have raised ball pythons without heating pads and just a heating lamp with no issues at all. So honestly, what should I do? Because I'm having people say back and forth that belly heat either is or isn't required, since the shaded areas they have in the wild don't really have warm ground.
Second, he's going on 2 months old here soon. The temperature pretty much stays between 92-93 degrees on the hot side and 78-80 degrees on the cool side. Is this okay? People have said they've had their hot spots between 90-95, so what do you guys have your hot spots at? One useful post did state that hatchlings should be at 88, so what should I do?
And since I've been trying to keep him at a decent temperature, I'm using a 75 watt red infrared heat bulb. Should I stick with the 75 watt or should I go with the 50 watt and use tin foil to keep the heat inside?
