Temp help

[Craiga 01453]

Mate, I know, I'm trying. But I live in the city, so the electricity limit is pretty limited- and if ball pythons do fine with just heat lamps, as I've seen many times before, that's what I'm working with. I already fixed the cool side temperature. And the only things I do have plugged in is his lamp and Christmas lights for probably around 7-10 hours.
Ive spent over 4 pay checks on him already for everything I needed to fix and I hardly had even enough money to spend on my own self. I know I seem like a bad owner, but jesus, I'm doing what I bloody can. But everything seems fixed now, ever since I got his moss for his humidity.

And listen, I'm sorry it seems like I went off. I'm just dealing with a lot right now and I'm recovering from a recent loss. I know you're trying to help and explain, but I apologize if I sound like a jerk right now

No worries. I get it. I live on a tight budget too.

And I'm just trying to help, like you said. But if it were me, my snake would come before Xmas lights. A sick snake will put a serious dent in your budget.

The lights aren't for me, they are for him. I know they rely on day/night schedules and since I don't have the option to get him those day/night cycle lamps, I'm using outer sources for his light. Those Christmas lights are his day time light and I have battery controlled dim lights that barely give off any light as his night lights. It seems stupid I know, but he seems to somewhat go along with it.

Hes not really active as much as he used to be. He was always active and trying to escape, but I covered up his walls and got him another identical hide and now I don't really see him often.
