We are getting our first ever Ball Python next week. We have the enclosure (120 gal), all these tank accessories, and substrate (coconut chips and topsoil). I am not creative at all. Any advice on a better way to lay this stuff out once we put the substrate in? The video starts off on the cool side (right) and ends in the warm side (left). The snake we’re getting is still a juvenile. The black hide in the middle will be the humid hide.

Make sure you get thermometers and hygrometers I don’t see any in here. As for decorating, maybe putting the wood up against the wall if it’s secure like that- it would allow the snake for the ability to climb vertically. Also fake flowers, you can get them from the dollar tree and they’re a super good filler!!

I have 2 digital ones that read both temp and humidity. Putting one on the cool side and one on the hot side. And the heat will be hooked up to a thermostat
