    neither of those will work well

    Here are 2 good thermostats:

    The hydrofarm is considered the cheapest acceptable thermostat: http://www.amazon.com/Hydrofarm-MTPR.../dp/B000NZZG3S

    The Herpstat is the safest and has the most features: http://spyderrobotics.com/home/products.html

    I got a hydrofarm off amazon for fairly cheap it was 27 bucks with free shipping. I only use it in my quarantine room though it would be best to invest in a good t-stat like the herpstat i have the herpstat 2 and love it does everything you would ever need.

    Thanks for the input, the hydrofarm has been purchased. now my next question is would a fogger help control the humidity?

    Foggers will help with humidity but are super overkill for a ball python.

    There are better and cheaper ways of controlling humidity.
