That hide will be fine for hatchlings and young ball pythons, but he may grow out of it quickly. If you are getting an adult it will not fit in that hide.Originally Posted by f4n70m
Figure this would be better
I will goto petland and try to get another of the same hide.
Also the temp is very high with the 150w infrared bulb. When i plug this into a dimmer and dim it down that will reduce heat correct? And i can do the same for the UTH? it covers a little less then 1/3 of the cage
Also as for humidity it has like none in the cage(bad i know with the heat lamp at full 150w around 100 deg.)
So i figure once i hook it up to a dimmer and it wont output as much heat it will allow for more humidity and once i add substrate it will raise the humidity. What substrate would u suggest? Flukers is reading 31% humidity just in my room alone so it needs raised by what 30%?
Also as to where im buying it. From here
http://www.allohioshows.com/
Its a show that comes once a month been there a few times. A bunch of breeders to buy from. Can choose whatever breeder has the snake i want
The humidity should be at 60-70%. Get rid of that heat lamp, it is not needed and will only suck humidity, and they aren't really good for ball pythons in general.
The belly heat from the UTH has to be hooked up to dimmer or it will be too hot. Get a probe thermometer as well to place directly on the UTH (on the glass under the substrate) and make sure it reads about 95F.
What do you plan on using for substrate? Aspen, Cypress, or newspaper are all good choices. Don't use sand, cedar, pine or reptile carpets.
