    Re: My Baby ball python is curled up into a ball outside his hide?

    I have 4 hides atm (2 paper towel boxes and 2 wooden trunk-hides).
    Im measuring my temperatures using a Jumpstart thermostat, and the probes are right above bottom of the bin (touching it)

    Thermostats don't read temps they regulate them only - maybe that could be the problem - the temps COULD be ridiculously high without you knowing ..

    So your thermostat has a built-in thermometer with probes ??

    Or has it a dial (showing temps) that you alter to regulate temps ?

    It has a build it thermometer with probes and has a button to set the temperature it would stop supplying power to the heating pad for. until it cools down enough, then it starts to heat up again (its like a 3 degree fluxiation, nothing major.) The snake seems to be doing really well at the moment. She is moving around a lot at night and hiding out in random places during the day. She usually with her head sticking out from under paper towels (which I used as substrate, but apperently she likes hiding under them)
