This is all a new experience for me, so again thanks for the tips! As for covering the sides, I have done that with white copy paper, was that a mistake? Should i use foil instead?

    Your fine on the paper [emoji106]

    Ok, so I had a few more things to add but didn't have time to do it at work, so here it goes.

    In regards to the thermometers, digital is a more accurate than the analog ones you have right now. Additionally, you want to make sure that the thermometers read the temperature where your snake actually spends the most time (meaning on the bottom of the enclosure). I'd suggest getting two digital thermostats. One for the "hot" side and one for the "cool" side. That way you will know exactly what the ambient temps are on each side of the terrarium and adjust accordingly.

    I'd also recommend adding more fake plants so your BP has places to hide when he/she comes out to explore. Other than that, your enclosure looks great!

    Here's the thermometer that I personally have in my enclosures which cost about $10 bucks at my hardware store (Lowes):
