    I'm planning to move my BP to a new terrarium. It will be made of PVC and size is 120x60x60cm (4x2x2 in USA). Main 24/7 heat source would be Arcadia Deep Heat projector 80W, I'm gonna use UVB and LED strip to create a good basking spot.

    Here are my questions:

    1) Is Arcadia DHP 80W enough to create a good heat gradient without any additional RHPs or anything? My room is around 21C (70F) all year round.
    2) Is JungleDawn LED a good LED bar for a Ball python? Wouldnt it the light be too bright when used with Shadedweller? Or should I just stick to Shadedweller and drop LED bar?
    3) Light (UVB+LED) and DHP will be hooked to Microclimate Evo Connected 2. Any opinions about that thermostat? Probe will be below DHP protection cage.
    4) Should I also add any fogger to keep humidity high? My current setup doesnt have any kind of fogger and humidity is 50-60%.
    5) Where exactly should the basking spot be, and more important, how high?

    I don't see anything wrong with your proposed set up. I wouldn't think you'd need a fogger. PVC holds humidity well.
