My thoughts are that in nature, the earth is heated by the sun and my lamp is comparable to the sun in my environment



Yes, and since Ball Pythons are nocturnal they do not come out to bask in the sun. The seek warmth from objects warmed by the sun (ground, rocks, etc) thereby getting belly heat. At least that's the way I think about it. I provide both for my BP - UTh on warm side and infrared heat light on cool side (both to keep cool side temps in correct range and for nighttime viewing).
