2. The temp on the UTH seems high to me. The probe on the glass can go as high as 110 (with direct contact to the glass beneath the sub) infrared reads about 95 consistently.
3.There are a lot of BP guides out there and a wide range of information. Are there any tell tell signs that you are doing something wrong with your husbandy?
Long post, sorry, but many thanks if you read and reply
First and foremost like mentioned above, unplug that UTH until you get a thermostat. Or a lamp dimmer while you wait for a thermostat to come in the mail. They DO get ridiculously hot and your snake can (and will if it gets too cold) burn the crap out of their belly. The healing process is long and expensive.
Here is a good thread to read, sounds like you have a good set up except for the UTH being without a thermostat. http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...-With-Pictures!
I want to say your ambient temp could be a little higher. Double check. As for your light bulb, you can also get a dimming thermostat (I *believe* herpstat are dimmers) and put the bulb on that so you don't have to use a timer or something.
Basically as long as your numbers match up, the snake is shedding fine, eating fine and doesn't seem agitated you're good to go.
