Your bps hot side should be 88-90 and when the room and cool side of cage is 85 during the day your only giving a 3-5 degree gradient. The room temp should stay a constant 79-82 24/7, ball pythons do not need a night drop. Also how to you prepare your f/t rodents?

Since this is your first post read this care sheet and make the proper changes if any. Welcome to the forum!

I unthaw the adult mouse in cool water for about an hour (cycle cold water every 30 minutes) then when it comes to feeding I put it in warm water for about 10 minutes. So if I feed her in her tank that wouldn't cause her to be more likely to strike at me thinking it's feeding time? Also, I read in that care sheet that hidey half logs aren't very good (which I have) so what would be a good hid for her or could I cover one side of the hidey log?
