Do ball pythons require belly heat?

[Sauzo]

Thanks you both for the quick response. Try yourself and type in google "Do ball pythons require belly heat" the short answer is yes.
Thanks for clearing up the heat rock business too.
I have a 75w ceramic heat bulb with gaurd on the roof of the inside and this is the only heat source i have on a £60 Habistat B1 microclimate thermostat and the reviews are good. So this is adequate? I dont want to collect the animal untill i know he has a perfect habitat to go in. I want to do everything right so any other useful tips will be so much appreciated i have bought a ball python care book. Also one more thing, do i need any supplements for the ball python like vitamins calcium etc? Cheers

That CHE will work assuming you get a warm side of around mid to high 80s and a cool side of high 70s to low 80.

And no, BPs don't need any supplements like calcium, D3 or UVB. They get their vitamins from whole prey food.
