Ball Python enclosure help

So I've got a ball python, I've bought a bigger vivarium for it as it was pretty cheap and what I wanted. I need a bit of help on what other people have to heat their vivariums, I've bought a digital thermostat planning on getting a lamp and maybe a heat mat? Seeing as there is 2 plug sockets with the thermostat? Another thing I've got fine orchard bark, I was thinking about mixing them with beech chips to brighten it up a little and make it look a little more appealing? Thanks in advance!!

What kind of thermostat is it? You may not be able to regulate two different heat sources with it

It's a thermostat with a cooling socket and heating socket, sorry I completely forgot, what I meant was what heat sources does everyone else use? I.e- ceramic heater or heat mat? Another thing I wanted some light strips for night time or a bulb? Anything anybody recommends? Thanks again!
