Lol, no offense but you need some punctuation in your posts. If you have a smart phone it shouldn't be very hard. They are called smart phones for a reason!
It's hard to help when you have to fumble through a mush of words just to find out what is going on.
I understand being tight on money, but there are some pieces of equipment you absolutely need for the safety of your animal. Unless you want a burned or cooked snake on your hands I suggest you gather your pennies and get a few basic pieces of equipment.
1. A rheostat. You can get one from the home depot for about $10 http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/...41&R=202051141
This will help you control the temps of your heating pad. It will require daily adjustments though.
2. A good digital thermometer. You can also get one of these from the home depot. Many of us here use an Accurite weather station for stand alone setups. The most basic unit has a probed thermometer (for outdoor temp) and a thermometer and hygrometer at the unit (indoor temp and humidity). These guys usually run about $11
As far as his behavior goes you have to understand what it must be like for this little one. You are a giant predator and for all the tiny snake knows, you are going to eat him. Leave him alone. Don't handle him at all for at least a week. Then you can start short handling sessions, 10 minutes every few days. You have to be patient. Don't be bothered if he does strike or bite you, it doesn't mean he will always be like that and honestly, getting bit by a baby ball python is no big deal. It doesn't hurt at all, it's just surprising.
I hope this helps.and
