Fire Pastel?https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...%2FYX0431Q.jpg

Absolutely not a firefly.

Not a fire pastel. And get rid of that carpet and those gauges also get a digital thermometer with a hygrometer with a probe if those gauges fall off they will stick to your snake plus they rarely work correctly.

I've nothing against using carpets as they can be swapped and cleaned easily I guess . I'd add some leaves to make it more natural looking maybe .

As mentioned the stick on thermometers are worse than useless for this purpose so maybe as suggested get a couple of those digital ones with a probe off eBay for about 3 dollars each .

I'd even consider splashing 13 dollars ( again off eBay) for a digital temp gun !! They're great for taking quick random temperatures off cool spots / warm areas and under hides etc

Just a quarantine tank...the terrarium carpet is used for quicker sanitationa and cleanup. It allows liquid waste to drain underneath so the snake isn't in direct contact unlike newspaper, paper towel, substrate which can absorb liquids.....I do use a heat gun but the "stickys" we're already on there and are actually quite accurate...

This is a late 2016 hatchling and his colors are dulled to him actively shedding. He is from a Fire Female x Lesser Pastel Male ...

Fair comments re - being just a quarantine tank , we couldn't have known :)

Those stick on thermometers won't tell you the temps on the floor where the snake is lying though , tbh

This snake needs to be on damp paper towel and not carpet,why? Because this snake has not even had it's first shed.

Hopefully you are experienced in starting un-started BP. That mean providing optimum husbandry by first using damp paper towel and second getting rid of this thermometers this are inaccurate and this is not where you measure temps.
