hey everyone, i am taking home a ball python who is currently on a hunger strike and need to comfirm some husbandry issues.

1) I have an 8" w, 9"h, 14"l glass tank
this will be sufficient for a 12"-16" hatchling ball python?

2) humidity should be 50%-60%?

3)temperature: 80-84 F on cool side and 88-94 F on warmer/basking side?

4) Should I be using a red/night heat bulb instead of a bright spot bulb?

5) currently the snake is on reptibark substrate, would it be better to keep him on reptibark when I bring him home? or could I switch him to paper towel?
And also, which would help to keep humidity up?

Thanks in advance and if anyone has anything else they think I should know, or that they want to add feel free.
