New home.

So I built a cage for my ball python 2 months ago, waited for everything to cure and air out and what not and i finally got around to putting in the heat panel so he can go in it. this panel is a 40 watt panel and his hot spot can only reach about 86 degrees and I was wondering if this would be okay? if not i was going to buy the 80 watt and use this one for my gtp. on another note, he ate 2 days ago and im hoping he doesn't regurge but i had to move him since i have a carpet python coming in the morning. other than that he seems to love it and the cat seems to love it to.

Re: New home.

Very very nice looking cage (Says the cat) Jk The only thing I can see is that you may want to give him another hide on the warm side. Also, I like to place a large rock under the heat source as a basking area. Not a heat rock, but a regular rock that will retain some of the ambient heat.

Re: New home.

I would want to bump the temps up to 91f at the hot spot, and the additional hides are a good idea too.

For a Ball python yes. For your Burmese you would need at least 2 times that size or more when it's full grown.
