So I was about to order my cage end everything for my ball python and then my mom said no I couldn't heat my rom 24/7 to keep ambient temperatures up. So what should I do? I don't exactly have the money for an RHP (plus they don't even heat air right?) and I heard that heat lamps dry out a cage... What should I do? No space heaters either. BTW my room can get to like 60 degrees during the night and winter. Thanks for you guys's help in advance.
What type of enclosure are you getting? You may have to deal with the war on humidity with a heat lamp until you can afford a rhp. Just get some substrate that retain moisture such as cypress mulch or the coconut husks.
