You are more than welcome! Don't know if you noticed but the titles of the two books I recommended are links to where you can purchase them. I have The Complete Ball Python and plan to purchase the second book this month.


Since you're re-hauling the entire enclosure - please also get a thermostat to control the temp of your UTH - they can overheat - and then your snake could be burned, unfortunately.

It could also be that he's not using the warm side, if it is heating up too much (hard to tell with the thermometer you're currently using, since it's not measuring the temps inside your warm side hid), and the thermostat can help you with that.
