Answer:

I have been caring for reptiles since i was little now I am fifteen years oldPleas listen to me carefully DO NOT try and buy a heat rockIf you do the ball pythons scales could fry off it and it could dieDo you have a big heat mat that is covering the entire bottom of the terrarium?What you could do is get a 160 watt UV bulb it might cost a little more but it worksThe bulb will heat the cage and it will make the cool side a little warmer I personally use the ZooMed bulbsIf it does get a warmer on the cool side just keep a hiding rock or place for it to hide around the area so it does not get to hot but when it is cool it can go to the warmer sideI also use a thermal thermometer to check my collection of Reptiles heat and different parts of the cages temperatureHope This helped another questions about any reptiles ask me and I will be glad to answer.
After smoking a while, your shisha will eventually dry out and give harsh smokeThe hotter it burns, the faster it will dry outYou could try going for a good median between the two extremes you've already found (keep one coal at the edge and push one to the center) or stir the shisha after it starts getting harsh, since the top tends to burn quickly even while the bottom is still freshAlso check how your shisha is packedIf it's packed tightly, it will burn slower, but if it's too close to the top of the bowl, it will burn where it's close to the coalI like to pack my shisha to a medium density, and make sure to leave a fair amount of space to the top of the bowl so it doesn't get too closeThen I put the coals in the middlethe coals burn hot, but the shisha doesn't scorch, so it burns at a good enough speed to give off a lot of smoke, but doesn't scorch and burn your lungsAlso be sure to stir your coals every once in a while and knock off excess ash, so they stay a constant temperature.
