My first Ball Python "Brutis" Heating problem

[uwanaknome]

I am using 2 Acuright thermometer/hydrometer's

[Kaorte]

the accurite unit measures humidity, lol. That is probably why it isn't going up.

Put the entire unit in the enclosure with the snake.

Hi,

Just to double check the tape in this photo is on the outside of the tank only yes?



It would probably be a good idea to cover the back, bottom and sides to increase security.

You can get aquarium backing paper in most pet shops and then you can add insulating material over that to help keep the temps up and stable too.

Unless you're an eight year old boy, that snake needs a larger cage. By looking at the picture and comparing your hand to the snake, the snake looks to be about 20-24 inches long. Maybe it's an illusion, but that picture makes that snake look too large for that aquarium.

Don't mean to bust on ya, just trying to help a fellow herper.

If anything the tank is too large. You can see the ball python fits perfectly in those small hides. You can even see the snake in the picture of the tank.
