Today I purchased a ball python. (The pet shop had been holding her for me, for a week). I went and picked her up today, and came to realize that they did not sell any of those under the tank heating pads.

Only heat rocks, and I'm aware that ball pythons are easily burned, and do tend to get burned from heat rocks. Tomorrow I'll be able to go to Petsmart and get her a proper heating pad.

But I was wondering if she'd be alright for a night without one.

I read up on bedding, and such. Right now she's in her temporary tank. My friend was supposed to drop mine off here today, but didn't. So right now she's in a smaller tank, with shredded news paper + water dish + her mouse. Tomorrows I'll get her reptibark, her new tank, and a heating device.

Tomorrow, all of the proper things shall be here. Will she be okay for a night without a heating pad? (it's never blazing freezing in here).
