Just got my ball python in his new tank.could someone answer a couple of questions for me ,
- is it necessary to have a UV light ? I know some reptiles require this , but I'm not sure about snakes.( well, i've done a bit more reading and found out that ball pythons are nocturnal and thus don't require UV light)
- how many hours of daylight is recommended ?
- recommended temps for the tank?
- what kind of substrate are you guys using? I'm using some repti bark I had left over from when I had a lizard. The only thing I've heard of being bad for snakes is red cedar, anything else I should avoid?
here's the stuff I'm using , what do you guys think ,is this suitable for snakes?
