Hi!

I'm going to be setting up a terrarium for a ball python. I want it to look REALLY nice because I'm going to be keeping it in my biology class for everyone to see, it's apart of a project I'm doing on ball pythons and mutations (which I got to choose obviously) and I thought it would be a good idea for people to be able to see and learn about these guys.

I'm planning on using a 20 gallon glass tank. The ball is an adult male so that should be a good amount of space. I'm planning on using a Zoo-Med Under Tank heater, it takes up almost half of the bottom of the tank and I'm going to use a heat lamp but I'm not sure how I'm going to set up the timer if I'm going to use that. Should I keep the heat lamp on all night, or use the timer so its only on during the day, or the other way around and should I use a red light you think?

I'm going to need some help, I haven't done much with keeping display tanks, I use tubs at home in a rack with flexwatt.

So does anyone have any links or pictures to help me create a really nice looking tank or can help me out somehow? I'd really appreciate your help! Thanks!
