    I highly suggest getting an uth and thermostat though. Using that amount of heat lamps is going to suck out almost all your humidity. Which can cause all sorts of problems with shedding.

    Looks good just monitor it so that 92 doesnt go higher.

    Ball pythons should not need to be in 90 degree ambient air temperature.

    The hot spot can/should be around 90-92 but the ambient air temp should be closer to 86 to 87 on the warm side and 78-80 cool side.

    I agree with getting a uth and thermostat.
    Those lights will kill all or most of the humidity and the snake might have some rough sheds if you leave it like this.

    I don't have a UTH, I use a 100w bulb on a 20L tank all I use is a wet towel over the mesh top and my humidity is fine. If I need to bump it I just must it down.
