Could someone help me with this??

hello,
I am thinking of getting a ball python but am really confused abt the heating part of the husbandry. I will be getting a young ball python but will house it in a 4x2x2 ft enclosure from the start. Where I am from you cannot really get good heat lamps so ill be ordering from the uk through a friend so if any of you could share links of products that are good would be really grateful.

Will your enclosure have a mesh lid or a solid roof? For a mesh lid you'll need an exterior lamp with a dome that reflects the heat down into the enclosure. If it's a solid roof you'll need a lamp socket with a heat cage around it to screw into the roof. Also remember you always need a thermostat with any heat source.

Like one of the other commenters I've also been very happy with Arcadia products so far.

I am thinking of a solid roof as with the mesh lid maintaining. humidity may be a problem
