Hey hardball,

One thing to consider is that ball pythons are not, if we're honest, particualrly skillfull climbers.

The end result of this is they can occasionally fall - which leads to the possibility of injury.

The most ideal solution would be for you to find a way to reliably and safely increase the warm end temps to 90-95F inside his hide ( or wherever he prefers to hang out on the warm end) while using something like rolled up newspaper or similar packing material to fill the shelf he was using in the picture to deny him access to potentially troublesome areas.

The most onerous part of keeping a ball python tank is not just making it perfect for what you expect them to do but to make sure they can't hurt themselves by doing something bizzare.:eek:
