Welcome to the site! Your new baby is a cutie!! You are correct, they are known as Royal Pythons, but here in America we favor Ball Python for obvious reasons ( as you pointed out in your pictures).

Some info. on the analog thermoms and hygros, they are known to be highly inaccurate. A digital w/a probe works best. As Shaun mentioned, Wal-mart carrys a thermom/hygro digital combo for $15. Also, Do you have 2 hides (one on the warm side and one on the cooler side)? I didn't see any in the pictures. BP's tend to be shy, they like to have a place they can go and escape--or hide if you will.

Yes, BP's can have IBD as they are boids. For more info, Go Here
