OK, a few major concerns.
1. Does your heating pad have anything controlling its temperature? (Without something to control the heating pad it can and will get hot enough to cause serious harm to your snake (130+ degrees))
2. Do you have any other thermometers besides what is shown in the picture? (Heating pads don't change the temperature of the air in the cage. This means that the thermometers shown in the picture aren't telling you how hot the floor of the cage is. You need to get a probed digital thermometer)
- Please read this thread on cage heating/thermometers/thermostats: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...t-Thermometers
3. you need a second hind, and really you should replace the hide that you have already with a better one. (These are the best hides: http://www.reptilebasics.com/hide-boxes)
One more question. What is the temperature of the room that the cage is in?
Pet store employees generally know very little about reptiles and the products that they sell are less than ideal, and in some cases dangerous. If you do not resolve some of these issues The vet bills will add up.
