first python and i'm concerned.

[cmack91]

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..

sounds like your doing fine, do you have a temperature gradient? ie. cool on one side, hot on the other? if not, it should be 79-82 cool, and 89-92 hot, everything else sounds fine though, whats your humidity?
