Water snakes and Belly Heat :/

[tttaylorrr]

So I just thought of something. I've been told that Ball Pythons need Belly Heat? I just wanted to see if this is true

Not true. I have a large collection of balls that I keep totally on ambient heat. 84-88 degrees.

it's not true, they just need enough heat to properly digest. the easiest way to achieve proper hot-spot temps is with belly heat (UTH), but it's not the only way to accomplish a proper hot-spot temp, like JodanOrNoDan mentioned above.
