After my ball python escaped...

[Craiga 01453]

I will post some pics this evening when I get home from work. The set is basic at the moment. I have a warm side and a cool side, a hide on the cool side and his favorite plant on the warm side. I'm using the brown carpet like stuff that Petco sales, water bowl and that's about it.
Thank you for your reply.

Agreed, we'll need to know more about temps and how you're measuring temps.

Also, you should have at least two hides, one on each end, so the snake can hide and thermoregulate as needed.

He's likely trying to find somewhere to hide that also suits his temperature requirements.
