    Re: Strange behaviour/gravid? ball python

    Thanks for the reply!
    She's in a hand made terrarium. Wood with a plexy glass window, 4'Χ2' and I think 2' high. I use a radiant heat panel on the inside roof of terrarium. Then she has a stone tile on her hot side with belly heat mat on the outside of tank under it. Both radiant heat and belly have thermostats of course. Her cool side is 26.6c or 80f. The probe is on the bedding under the hide where she lays. The hot side is 29.5c or 85f. I haven't had a humidity probe in for a while because it was always the same for years. But it sits around 50. And I heavy mist around sheds so it's around 70-80. She's on coconut husk bedding that I allow to dry out before heavy mistings. But generally her big water bowl under the radiant heat panel, and no open top keeps me from having to mist too much. She had a light in her tank but hated it so I just use natural light.
    She's generally a very happy, healthy, plump girl and nothing in her home has changed.
    Maybe she's not "basking" but she has a log on an angle going up and she generally climbs it at night. I just noticed her doing it more.
    She's been less active yesterday and today. Staying under her cold hide. But I haven't bothered her.

    I hopefully answered all your questions! I'd put a picture but I'm not sure how on here
