Ambient vs. Belly heat.
Where I live, the summer is basically perfect humidity + ambient temps for a python it seems.
Today, ambient is 85 and humidity is 68% outside. We have no air conditioner due to building regs, just a small portable one for our bedroom.
Would my ball be ok at that heat if I shut off all other heating elements and just left it ambient? Should I still provide a hot spot via UTH ? I don't want to over heat him!

It will be fine many breeders use ambient temps alone, so do I 8 to 10 months out of the year.

Agree...and you might want to add a hot spot just after meals taken, for a few days, and only by day?

Why? They can digest just fine in the mid 80's range.

Re: Ambient vs. Belly heat.
So 86 ambient isn't too hot if I take away other heat sources? It's only May and it was 88 degrees outside Today, and in trying to cool my appartment down desperately, but it keeps climbing back

Fans work wonders as well and can be had pretty cheap at Walmart and such

I just meant if the OP is concerned about that being enough heat...I personally might try that, but that's me & I'm not saying it's required.
I certainly defer to your experience with BPs...

Re: Ambient vs. Belly heat.
I personally wouldn’t be to concerned with an 86 degree ambient temp. Like the others have mentioned you could always run a fan. But you should be just fine in my opinion. Hope that helps.
