I have never had a python (ball, carpet, blood) get a ri. People don't give reptiles the credit they deserve. We force them to follow our rules instead of letting them self regulate what they need. I have girls wrapping their bowl in ambient temps in the upper 60s. They feel like ice but they know what they need better then I do.
My ambient temps were around 70(room temp) for a few months only, and my ball never left his hot hide unless for food or water. Now that my ambient temps are 80, he is always out exploring, climbing, and alternating between hides. Oh, and I also have a CHE over a glass tank with screen top(tin foiled) , perfect sheds every time.
