dangerous temps

[bjfoste1]

What are dangerous temps for ball pythons. I know you want to keep the temps about 90-92. But i just want to know what is DANGEROUS.

Well, if you can touch the area and have to remove your own hand in pain, I would consider that dangerous....

100+ is a good range, but even that may be on the high end of dangerous.

I have yet to try and personally figure it out.

i think anything above 100F is about right, and they can suffer neurological damage if they are.

I think it's a little dangerous before that. The human body temperature is around 98.6F and the python feels comfortable around 86 when they're not digesting (a little warmer if they are... around the low 90s). They can tolerate temperatures up to a 100 for short periods. This is why it is so important to give them a gradient so they can regulate on their own.
