My Set Up.

[Vesta]

I have just a small thermostat for the tank. I'm going to buy a probe thermostat for the warming spot where the UTH is.

But I shut the UTH for a day so that it won't come to a point of overheating. It's precautionary.

I've never seen a UTH with a temp regulator on it and I work at a petstore... Where do you find them?

BTW thanks guys for throwing this stuff out... I only want the best for my little girl.

It the one hide I have that is large. But she likes it and wouldn't take it out for the world because if I place it on the bed and hold her... she tends to find her way to it still haha. So I guess I'll have to go towards a 40 gallon to put another one in.

Your snake would most likely enjoy two smaller hides. It will make her feel more secure. They tend to get in the smallest area they can, and some will even seem to wear there hide as a shell if it is small enough, kinda like a turtle.

You could also look into something like this for a cage instead of a glass tank: http://dragons4you.net/24x12x12w.JPG. Digital thermostats can be bought here: http://reptilebasics.com/Thermostats-p-1-c-250.html.

The smaller ones feel like they are too small. She's a nice four foot snake with a pretty wide girth. I want something nice and decorative, too.

You'd be surprised what they can fit into.

Thanks mucho! And I love you for bringing the picture up of the tank. I want one for her! I just don't know what they are called to look into it and I do want something that's going to definitely be big enough for her.

Ball pythons don't normally feel secure in large hides, it can stress them out. They like to crunch themselves in hides and getting a hide that is large enough for her to fit in she'll love that one even more.

I figured when she jammed herself in her waterbowl, but I guess I could find something it's still going to take up space.
