Meet Stella, my first ball python! I’ve spent a lot of time researching husbandry and setting up her enclosure. I currently have thrive digital hygrometers/thermometers with probs on both cold and warm sides I have ordered Govee thermometers/hygrometers on the way, so I’ll have more accurate readings soon.

My one concern is that she likes to climb and occasionally gets very close to the mesh top where the heating bulbs are mounted above the enclosure. She has climbed right up to the mesh a few times and once got extremely close to the area directly beneath the bulbs before backing away.

What modifications I can make to prevent that? or do PB know it is dangerously hot and won’t touch the surface?
