Hi all! Just got my new (2 yr old) Ball Python. Still working on a permanent name for him so... Anyway, I was wondering what is the best way to transport the Ball when I am going across town to my Herp meeting? I brought him home in a cloth bag.
Secondly, I liked the idea of covering the screen on top in order to hold in heat and humidity better. I have a heating pad on one side that I applied on the side of the tank near the water dish to help create humidity and a heat lamp on the other. The side with the heat lamp stays about 78 - 84 degress while the heat pad side stays right around 80. If I cover the screen partially I think I might be able to get it up some. Any suggestions? The other thing is that my daughter has bad asthma so we keep the central air on alot during the summer time.
Thirdly, he is eating very well but the previous owner was feeding 6 mice every 21 days. Is this an appropriate spacing for feeding. On his last feed he ate very well downing 6 medium mice.
I know this post (my first!!) seems kind of rambling so any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Peace!
