I finally got a male ball python and am absolutely smitten with him. I hope to learn more about snakes from this forum.

anyone from maryland who keep ball pythons or snakes in general?

Re: Hello from Maryland

Ditch (what looks like) the analog. Get a digital thermometer/hygrometer. Very pretty by the way. There are lots of knowledgeable ball people on here that I'm sure can give you lots of info. Posting a complete pic of your setup will be a good start.

You need a digital hygrometer too. What are your temps and humidity levels at?

I'm gonna go by this because I don't know a lot about balls. Ball Python (Python regius) Caresheet

According to that, your humidity is too low. But like I said, there are ball people here. You could post a separate thread in the appropriate section asking about their care. You'll get a much better response than in the welcome section.
