Questions about my daughter's new BP

[Sonny1318]

BP's need belly heat for digestion. Side mounting is no good, ignore the packaging as it is made for many types of reptiles.

Ambient temps really don't matter that much until they go below 70, so no need for any other heating devices besides the heat mat.

I never ever see my BP out unless I take him out. If I did see him out during the day I would immediately think something was wrong. They don't call them "pet rocks" for nothing.

I definitely have to politely object to some of the advise in this post. I rarely have ever provided belly heat for a python or boa. I have 4 males currently, 2 seven year olds, 2 five year olds. 2 of them rarely hide, only when in shed, and two I only see when they’re hungry or soiled their hide. I don’t necessary have issue with the 70 degrees. I’m in Chicago but sometimes drops below zero, but I see no need to let it get much colder then 74. Peace ✌️
