No substrate?

Shouldn't need two lights over a 10 gallon. What I did when I had a tank was I put the heat lamp in the middle for ambient temp (which also boosted the cool side surface temp a bit) and had an UTH on one side for the hotspot. I'd play with finding the right position for your heat lamp before getting two. May way to throw some eco earth or cypress mulch in there for something a bit more comfy for him and to help with the humidity. I think it's a good setup until he gets bigger though. Congrats and welcome to the forum! (and the ball python addiction as you'll quickly find out)

Re: New to the site
Sorry about the confusion- I meant another fixture because all the fixtures I have are being used for beardies and Leo's.
The bottom of the tank has linoleum to prevent bacterial growth and for easy cleaning. There are towel pieces in the hides for comfort /to give the little fella something to burrow in. In researching this over the past couple of months, it seems as though this is an acceptable practice. Can you offer any reason why loose substrate is needed? Thanks!

Swapped out the water dish and warm side hide for a combination pool/cave piece I found today. He went in immediately and seems to like it!
Got the fixture and have set up a CHE with dimmer switch... Working on regulating temps now.

Just measured him... Weight is 122g and length is 18" (approximately). That being said, anyone have any useful tips for measuring length of a snake? He doesn't care much for straightening out lol

I have never bothered to measure the length on any of my BPs, just weigh them. When I had a boa I would measure her for the heck of it and I used a pice of 550 cord, then measured the cord.
