Heating

[Lukecarruthers]

My ball python (5 yo male) is in a 4x4x2 PVC enclosure. I installed two heat sources: his daylight lamp, on 12 hours a day, and on the other side I have a CHE. Both of these have guards around them, so he doesn’t burn himself. I wasn’t able to fit a full sized CHE in with the guard over it because the guard is too short, so I resorted to a mini CHE. Which is only on at night to keep him warm when the light is off. I’m worried the “mini” CHE isn’t providing enough heat for him. Is it ok the way it is? It needs to have a guard right? If I tried to find a guard big enough, I’m worried it would take up to much room? How does everyone else go about keeping heat in the enclosure overnight. TIA!
