Thermostat probe placement in my tank?

[KMG]

If he had an RI you would know by now, opening his mouth frequently is a sign of an RI but if there are no other symptoms then he doesn’t have an RI. If you don’t see any mucus coming from his mouth, mucus on the cage walls, labored breathing, or wheezing then he doesn’t have one. Like Boger said, don’t say nobody told you. As KMG said I’m also done wasting my time and effort on this. You say you don’t have experience with reptiles yet many people on here who do have experience have told you multiple times yet you still don’t listen. I hope your Ball Python lives a happy healthy life

Ok, I'll say something else.

The above was said well but I wanted to add a snake with RI will NOT eat. If the snake had RI it would be to the point now that it would be obvious. Even to those of us on the other side of your screen.

That poor snake is going to go through a bunch of unnecessary stuff just to make you feel better. It's unfortunate and could actually create an issue with the animal. I can only imagine how you will act then.

Trust the snake and TRUST YOURSELF. Trust you are giving the snake what it needs and let it be. Don't try to figure a snake out and compare them to others. Each can be very different from the next.

You don't trust the snake. You don't trust yourself. You don't trust us. Will you even trust the vet?

Stop being a helicopter parent. Let the kid play.
