    Ball python lighting

    What temp can i allow my BP tank to drop to at night. I keep his basking spot at 90 all day but as soon as i turn off his basking spot light his temp starts going down. I also have a uth but it dosent seem to do much. Is keeping his basking spot light on 24/7 too stressful for him. Thanks

    I keep my warm side anywhere from 88 - 93 and my cool side at 80 with my humidity between 55 - 60% i use a daylight and a red light at night.

    What is the temperature of the glass directly above where your UTH is stuck?

    A regulated heat source only creates a hot spot and does nothing for ambient temperature.
    Make sure you are getting your temperature from the hottest spot your snake can touch, they do burrow....

    Nope. What's important is the result (the temperature). There are many different ways to get there.
