How to raise ambient temperature in ball python's terrarium
Hi all,
My ball python had a really good appetite, I was really impressed with her feeding response. After a while, when winter came to Turkey, everything goes in a bad way. Bp refused lots of meals, even though I tried various methods like cutting prey's skull etc.(it was kinda gross like a satanic ritual..). Even though all the circumstances are the same except ambient temperature and I think all the problems and fasting processes are because of improper ambient temperature. Now it goes well, she turned herself again and has a really good appetite, not refusing meals and instantly striking prey(frozen/thawed).
If I raise the ambient temp in the terrarium, is there any chance to skip winter fasting via manipulating the bp the winter never comes lol.
Here are some pictures of my terrarium, feel free to express all your opinions, in Turkey, there are not sufficient sources to acquire knowledge, and due to lack of knowledge, I really want help.
The terrarium is 90x60x60 in cm, half of it there is UHT (90x30) with well adjusted, hot spot(the leftmost one) is around 31-33 degrees in celsius, the middle one is around 29-30 and the rightmost one(cold spot) is around 27.5-28 degrees. The ambient temperature is around 24-26 depending on whether it's morning or night.
