This summer will be my first as a python owner and I'm looking for any advice from Brisbane based keepers or anyone with experience in keeping pythons in warm climates to help me deal with the increase in ambient air temperature at the cool end and how to appropriately adjust my set up at the warm end. My enclosure is 90L x 45D x 55H and I'm currently running a 100w infrared heat lamp (advice from a store owner). My temps have gone from 22-24 degrees at the cool end to 27-28 degrees in the last week or so but my warm end has stayed around 31 degrees.
Is this enough of a gradient for over the summer?
If it isn't would it be beneficial to drop to a lower wattage lamp or would a heat mat or heat cord be better suited and should I install a fan at the cool end?
What set ups do other members use over the summer?
Thanks
