Just curious if anyone has tried these with ball pythons. I got one for my leopard gecko this past weekend and she has been basking on and off since. And started eating after a 4 month fast. Not sure if the DHP lead to this or it was just coincidence, but seeing her reactions to it I plan on up grading the other gecko too.
Since ball pythons are not as much a basking species as geckos I wonder if it would be worth it. The main benefit of these is supposed to be the production of both infra-red a and b heat that supposedly penetrates deeper into the skin and muscles than heat from say CHE's. It also warm the substrate to re-radiate it (as long as the substrate is something that absorbs heat, such as a stone or ceramic). I've read a lot of people having success with lizards and turtles as far as seeming to increase more natural behaviors, but I don't know anyone that has used it with a snake.
No cage is too large - nature is the best template - a snoot can't be booped too much
