Hi all,
So my 3 year old python is now on the mend following a reasonably serious bacterial infection that required several months of antibiotic treatment. He has been off antibiotics for about 2-3 months now, all external lesions have healed almost completely and his behaviour, feeding and defection patterns have returned to their pre-illness state.
During treatment I had him under heat 24/7 to assist with healing. I am now wanting to move him into a larger enclosure and resume shutting off the heat at night. I am nervous about doing this so soon after he was sick.. Would it be worth holding off, or will he likely be ok without the heat at night? Keeping in mind I live in Sydney and temps in my house can get as low as 20 degrees at the moment, being winter.
