Getting back into Ball Python keeping

[Tentacle Toast]

Yeah they were. In most cases the snake either moved the buffer between the heat pad, or the person didn't use the pad correctly. Accidents happen and in my personal experience, bulb accidents can be easier to handle/resolve for newbies then heat mats. Heat mats are a good resource, but unfortunately many people don't know how to use them correctly, or don't know they are using them wrong.

The beginner uses bulbs, the intermediate uses mats & rheo/thermostats, & the expert uses bulbs...no need to needlessly complicate things.

As the saying goes,

A picture is worth a thousand words.
If you could post a couple of good photos we can go from there.

Apologies for the delay, I read the first few replies and didn't get an email that there was more replies.

Here's the basic setup. Focused more on heat/humidity ATM before I put more clutter in, and then I'll get the snake (probably at next months local expo)

I'll put more foil across the top, but humidity isn't quite where I want it.
