Hi.
Most of the morelia pythons like to hang on perches. i want to buy one(West PapuanIrian Jaya) and i dont know if a under tank heater will heat the snake if he wont be on the ground(on a perch).

thanks.

Try a Ceramic Heat Emitter (CHE) in a heat lamp from Zoo-Med or Pearlco. They work reall nice and last a lot longer than traditional heat bulbs...

I use overhead heat, however I've noticed that after I have fed him, my IJ will hangout on the bottom of his cage in his hidebox for a few days 'till he's done digesting, then come back up to his branch. Just something to think about.

which overhead heating you are using?

I just use a heat lamp with a normal bulb, no fancy stuff here.
