No is to cold if anything, my spotteds are currently kept at about 33.5 and will slowly get hotter as the days warm up..
34-35 hot end is the prefered temp i think.

28 seems very low, for any reptile really...

If you can't find an answer to temperature/environment with regards to a particular species, do some research on the region where their wild relo's live. What is the usual/average temperatures in the area where spotted pythons come from? If you mimick those temperatures "therabouts" you really can't go wrong.

Im afraid if you're looking to cook your spotted python you'll need a much higher temperature, is your oven fan force? 
Im joking, in a tank those temps wont "cook" your snake, in fact maybe the warm end could be a bit warmer, about 30-32 degrees is good.

As above - your temperatures are too low and can cause some serious issues with your python if not corrected. How long have you had your python? What are you keeping it in (type of enclosure)?
Please do some thorough research on your animal's requirements, or you'll likely be back here asking for help when a health issue arises in your animal, or you find it dead one morning.
You should know what temperatures your python needs BEFORE buying one. You need to know all the husbandry requirements of the animals you keep - we owe them that much at least. If you need help with all of this, PM me but get it done either way.

Why are some so rude when others ask for help? Really is unnecessary in most cases....Mel personally if you spoke to me like that you would be the last person I asked for help. If your intentions are good then show it, otherwise don't bother posting.
Keeper as others have stated you need to raise the temp...
:lol:
Thanks for the giggle, nice to see someone helping out with a sense of humour!

My intentions clearly are good - I am thinking of the welfare of the animal here. I also offered to personally help keeper10 with his research.
I have no idea how you interpreted what I typed as rude (sensitive huh?), and my post was certainly valid. I simply suggested what I think is the best course of action to take, and you cannot deny that keeper10 and his animals would benefit if he gained some more knowledge.
At the end of the day, if keeper10 follows my advice, then he will be a much better keeper. What I stated was simply fact, and I did not attack keeper10 in any way.

No, not direct or rude at all....neither was your reply to me.
Stating fact is good, offering to help is also great, doing it in a positive way is best.
No one stated that them learning the husbandry is bad, isn't that why they posted the question in the first place? So they could learn??
Not about being sensitive but have certainly seen alot of this on here of late. People ask for help and get burned all the time, unfortunately it is normally from those that know enough to help them but go about it all wrong - tends to sort of stop them from asking which impacts on the animals they keep. As I said, if you truly want them to ask you for help then maybe you should be a little more diplomatic and remember the learning curve of owning new reptiles...

This is now off-topic rambling, and doesn't belong in this forum. If you feel that anything is inappropriate or against the rules, click the report button and let the moderators deal with it.
I stand by everything I've said. If you wish to have this discussion, feel free to PM me but it is not appropriate on this thread and I will not engage further on here.
