well im sure someone will explain why the t8 is recommended over the t3 in due time, here is a pic of my ball and the enclosure its in now, it is just a 20 gallon long with the sides,top,and bottom blacked out with foam board for a little insulation. the temps and humidity look to spot on at 80 on the cool side 90 on the hot and the humidity is a little high at the moment because i spilled a little water when filling the bowl.
i'm still considering getting the t3's as they will work better in the space i have and they are no smaller from what i have read than the tubs most people say they use for their adult female ball pythons. so as long as i can achieve the same temps with just the flexwatt and a herpstat 2 i should be good to go.but i am still waiting for more thoughts and opinions before i make a definitive decision.
