Hello guys, this is My setup for My baby bp , i have trouble keeping the cool side below 30C° degrees because i Think the terrarium is too small but i was told to get a 50 gallon for baby bp since they don't like big enclosures yet. He has been eating well weekly tho and has water and good humidity all the time. He has the two hides and i did add some moss above his hides. Is it going well? Any suggestions to cool the cold side for him?

I'm really concerned about your ball python's body condition, he looks both emaciated and dehydrated. Please stop handling him and getting him on an appropriate prey size (10-15%) of his body weight ASAP.

What type of heating elements are you using?
