How do I keep my ball python tank warm at night?

Under-tank heating pads are commonly used by snake keepers to keep their tanks warm, but they can be difficult to regulate and keep at the proper temperature. It’s better for your snake to have a natural day/night cycle with heat lights than with heating pads. There are two 12-hour cycles for each of the two heat lamps.

How do I keep the heat in my snake tank?

Basking should be provided by a primary heating device, such as a heat lamp or radiant heat panel, in most cases. Heat tape or heat pads can also be used to create a basking spot under the cage. Heating devices may not be necessary if the cage temperature is warm enough on its own.

How do I know if my snake is too cold?
