I just bought a 4' ball python yesterday advertised with a cage and access. When I got the fellow home, I noticed he had a respiratory infection from being housed (as I then learned) at room temp. Apparently his heating equipment never really made his 70 gal tank any warmer than that. I took him to the vet and got him antibiotics, and now I need to figure out how to get him into the necessary 85F-ish temp. I put him into a smaller 20-30 gal tank, and bought a ceramic heater and its holder. $145 later, his tank isn't getting above 70F on the warm end. I need immediate help - please, what equipment do I use to heat a 20-30gal tank at 85 degrees F? What do you other proud ball python owners use? Thank you VERY much for your help.
