Son getting ball python. Cage setup help please

[Kaorte]

lol sorry

Ok well it seems I got all the info I need. Here is what im planning on doing.
Getting a tstat at the show. Hooking the uth up to that. Set it at 92-93 deg. Then keeping the lamp on a dimmer. This should allow the UTH to stay at a good temp and allow me to adjust the lamp to raise the ambiant air temp.
Sorry this has turned out to be so long didn’t mean for it to. But I cant mess up and let a snake die. My son don’t want just one snake.. he wants MANY. But we will just start out with one for now. Maybe next year we can move up and get another lol. I thank all you guys for all your help. Once I learn more about all this stuff I will make sure I repay my debt and help others as you guys have helped me.

Sounds like a plan!

Don't be sorry, this is a forum for learning and you (and others) have done just that If you have any other questions, feel free to ask away. There is always someone here to answer your questions.

Believe me, most of us are just glad that you are sorting this out before you get the animal. Most people (including myself) get their first ball python as an impulse buy and end up getting a lot of useless equipment that they then need to replace. Doing the research before hand saves you time and money!

Everyone is happy! Hooray!
