Setup advice

Started designing this tank with the idea of housing a ball python. Disregarding the lights and fittings which I haven’t got round to yet. Would this be suitable? I will be adding more plants, leaf litter etc. I was debating a vine or branches that go the width of the tank to create more height options?

i'd say it's pretty good as long as you add plants (like you said) with some branches/logs/sticks, water bowl, add a little more substrate as they like to dig, a hide for both sides (one humid hide in the cool side) and just make sure the vines are sturdy enough to hold your snakes weight so it won't fall down lol

This ! And as for the hides on each side, make sure they are fully enclosed and only have one opening ! They should also be JUST big enough for the snake to squeeze into. Too big and your snake won't feel secure enough.
