New python owner, with question

[tmaggieb]

I just picked up my baby and she is so cold. Her tank in 60 degrees. The basking light is off and the night time light is on. Any suggestions??

Where are you keeping her, its super cold in your house!

You can turn on the basking light just to see if it will get the temps up, or go out and get some hand warmers from walmart or something like that, or use a human heating pad for right now.

In the future, you need to be a lot more prepared, read up about the animal you want and set up the enclosure a couple hours before getting your animal.

yeah... ditch the lights and use a under the tank heater works day and night..... find a thermostat or rheostat to control the heater.... hopper mice is a bear minimum size wise for food... really sounds like you should have done some home work before bringing an animal home
