hi everyone! I bought my first snake a little diamond python roughly 4/5 months old, we brought him home 2 days ago. This is the set up we have him in which was recommended by the breeder. I’m really
second guessing myself about if he’s happy and if this is an okay environment for him. The heat lamp is set to 33 degrees and the Breeder said to keep it on 24/7. It is attached to an on/off thermostat so the bulb is switching on and off every few minutes. The probe is placed on top of the mesh just under the hood of the dome (as we were told to do). He hasn’t come out of his rock hide all day.. I’m so worried that he is too hot or cold or something! Would the constant on and off from the light bother him? Should he be moving around more? He is due for a feed in 2 days so I will see how he feeds but I’m just terrified I’m not doing the right thing by him! Any advice would be greatly appreciated
