newbie looking for heating help

Yeah, you will need to get that temp up a little more.
Overhead heat lamp will raise the ambient temp.

hi all, Elliot is very happy and warm now, feeding like a champ too, maybe a odd silly question but when we handle her she tends to tense up and loosening like shes constricting nothing at all.. dont know if its odd behaviour or if its normal is all

Sounds like she's still just getting used to being handled by the giant pinkish warm things that make funny vibrations. We're pretty intimidating to snakes considering the size difference, so just imagine being in her "shoes" and see the world in her point of view. Might take her a few more handling sessions before she becomes more comfortable with you.

hi again every one sorry to be a pain.. but my python seems to be doing great just one thing, a few days ago her belly went pink and her eyes clouded so we thought she was heading into shed, but now her eyes have gone normal and her belly isn't pink but her skin feels very dry, we have been raising the humidity with a water spray on her aspen, she was very grumpy and would hiss whenever you disturbed her but allowed us to pick her up and look at her today, was just wondering if any one knew if this is normal or if there's something we need to do she feed on Sunday perfectly fine so can i rule out stress?

Panic over hahaha I'm watching her shed right now! She's proper screwed up her first skin tho.. Not a happy bunny
