First off I'm presuming that the heat source is regulated by a thermostat...Originally Posted by DPlant
Here's a pic of the enclosure. (water dish has some aspen in it because some fell in) (heating mat is on right side of the tank (below the right hide, set at 91 degrees) (also the BP is under the right hide right now, with the mouse that i left right outside)
Soooo .. out of interest that stick on thermometer/hygrometer is gonna give you wildly inaccurate humidity readings and will only give you very approximate air temps !! Sorry but they're basically just useless .
I'm wondering if it's just too warm in there tbh ...
Apologies I haven't read all through the thread - just seen the thread title and saw that photo ( I'm ill with the FLU ) ..
What's that black wire down the right side ( in the viv) attached to ??
Is it a heat mat or a thermostat probe or a thermometer or what ?
Hopefully you also have a digital thermometer with a probe or a digital temp gun to check those crucial SURFACE temps .
Visually ..... there's far too much OPEN space to make a Royal / Ball python feel safe and secure ..
I'd get some branches and bark pieces from any local parks or woods .... plus buy some cheap , fake plastic/ silk plants and foliage .
Charity shops or Pound/Dollar stores have them .
I'd get everything sorted out in the viv ... then leave the snake totally alone for ten days then ask us again for feeding tips ...
