Hey everyone after some advice..we have recently moved house after 4 years of living in one house.
Have moved a 6 year old coastal carpet python with us, she never had a problem with temperature in the previous room in this enclosure but this house gets a lot hotter..
She seems alright after a week but isn't as active as she previously was. She's in a 6 foot old glass aquarium with a heat mat at one end and marine carpet as the base. When we first moved in 10 days ago she was sprawling out and relaxing at the non heat mat end, but now she spends 90% of the time on the heat mat even on a 35+ degree day. I have the thermostat set to around 30 as it is under the glass, as it always has been. Her breathing seems normal but can occasionally seem to become erratic.
Just after any advice as to how I can regulate the temp better and what I should be looking out for in regards to breathing? Trying to avoid relocation of the tank or buying a new one to suit conditions.
Cheers
