Question:

My first ball python, little help please?

I got him about an hour ago and he ate yesterday at the pet store (Friday)When should I try and feed him again?His head also looks dry, but he was shedding yesterday, is it due to the shedding?And the tank temperature is around 80, I have the heating pad under the tank and a nocturnal lamp, but the temp doesn't seem to increaseIs 80 an ok temp?I would REALLY appreciate help!!!Thanks]

Answer:

If the bottles are of equal volume, there will not be enough heat energy in the room temperature bottle to melt all the ice in the frozen bottleThe aluminum wrap should help transfer heat to the frozen bottle and 30 minutes may be enough time to chill the room temperature bottle to 32FThe insulation (polyethylene and Styrofoam help isolate the problem)Compare the calories required to cool a pound of water with the calories required to melt a pound of ice (latent heat of fusion) or use metric units.
