I'm so excited! I just brought home my first snake; a hatchling ball python!
As it was the cheapest option, and the worker at the store suggested it, I bought the "Deluxe Snake Kit." I've done my research, however, I've always been a tad bit confused with lighting/heating and lamps. This kit (
Zilla - Where Reptiles Rule » Deluxe Snake Kit | Products) came with two lamps and two bulbs; a "day blue light" and a "night black heat" bulb. I want to get this right so although everything else is setup in the tank, I have not placed the lamps or used them yet. Where should they be located on top of the tank, which light do I use when, how long do I leave the lights on, and is there any other information you can give me regarding the lamps? I'm just a little overwhelmed and I would appreciate if someone could sort this out for me! Thank you!
(A quick response would be wonderful, I don't want the snake to be without lights for long, if he needs it...)
