Hi! I know I’m probably over reacting but I just want to be sure-
I bought home a hatchling spotted python a couple hours ago and put it in the tub I have setup for it. It seemed to settle in a hide in the cool end of the enclosure fairly quickly. When I put it in it was cold as ice, should I move it to the hot end or just let it be and hope it eventually finds it way there? I’ve got a 13litre tub with a 5watt heat mat stuck to the bottom of one end (gets to about 35 degrees belly heat)
Also is belly heat enough? Should I be using any type of lamp? Like a low wattage ceramic bulb or something? Because air temp is about 25 degrees, and seems really cold?
Thanks!
