Wiggles's new favorite hiding spot is curiously warm.
It's this warm because his radiant heat panel is directly below it. What's more, this spot is under our Christmas tree skirt which presumably traps the rising heat.
When I started, I kept his basking spot between 85 - 90F. Then I bumped it up to 90 - 95F and noticed a marked increase in activity and appetite. Do I dare bump it up to 95-100F? Having kept a ball python for years, those temperature seem dangerous, but they are not outside the range given in some care guides for Antaresia pythons (most notably the one from Reptile magazine.)
