So I'm going to be getting my first snake in about a week, and I've decided to get a ball python- They were everything I was looking for.
So I'm just trying to make sure that my terrarium set-up is correct.
*24"x18"x12" terrarium
*Water bowl large enough to soak in
*Aspen shavings
*Under the tank heater that is 1/3 of the terrarium
*Acurite thermometer/humidity gauge with probe (The thermometer itself is what measures indoor humidity and temperature, the probe measures outdoor. Do I just put the probe in the terrarium, or the thermometer, too?)
*Extra stick-on humidity and temperature gauge
*A few plants for decoration
I'm planning to get 2 identical hides soon! I'd just like tips/suggestions on my setup- Anything I may be doing wrong? The temps are supposed to be 90F on the hot side and 80F on the cold side. Should I let them drop at night? How do I do that? What's the humidity supposed to be? (50%-60%?)
