Hello, I'm new to this Forum as you may know. I just bought a Ball Python so I can have a companion while I'm sitting in my bed or what not. I have his cage and I have the picture in another thread I made.
I know NOTHING about heating or anything. I know that there are these heating pads that are black looking and all I know is that you can plug them in and stick them wherever and you're set.
But I don't understand the Thermostat thing and everyone is suggesting a Thermostat with a probe? Where would I stick the Probing part, just let it dangle from the side of my cage or let it lay on the ground?
What heating pad should I use? Are there heating pads that you can regulate the temperture on, like a dial and I turn it to see what ever temperature I want?
I know nothing about anything really. Could someone just push me in the right direction with the stuff I just brought up?
