My tank at this point is a 20 gallon tank, I have aspen bedding in it a rock hide on the warm side and a rock hide on the cool side. there is a water bowl in the center and a tree branch in center for him to climb. I will get some pics as soon as I can. I have been reading on here that most of you don''t use a heat lamp for the python, Should I change that? the temp in the tank stays at about 88 during day and 82 at night is that right? sorry all the questions. I just want Neiko to be a happy snake..
