Alright I'll move him back upstairs thanks. My roommate has some cage moss and he said that it really helps raise humidity up, is that cool for ball pythons? I also put a layer of wood chips over 1/3 of it because they hold moisture better. As far as monitoring temps go, do you suggest getting a thermometer with one of those probes that I can put in the bedding? Are the temps for the sides ambient temps, or at ground level? right now i have my thermometer/humidity gauge at the top middle of my tank. I'll go pick up another thermometer tomorrow to monitor both sides.
