Welcome to the forum!
Layla looks like a normal. Still beautiful!
The tub condensation is normal, as long as it's no a ton. If it's dripping off the lid or something, just use a smaller bowl. They don't soak often.
The setup looks good. What are you using for heating? You may want to put paper over three sides of it, below the holes so she feels more secure when she switches hides.

Re: Layla the Ball Python & a few questions :)
She is a normal. You don't want condensation on tub walls. I would get her a smaller water bowl. What are you using to measure temps and humidity with?

Congrats on her!
She looks awfully small for a July '11 baby: I'd recommend a digital scale so you can weigh her and track her growth (if you don't have one already of course)
She also looks like a nice little normal to me.

So I just put more aspen all along the sides, seems to do the trick
And I put back in her smaller water bowl and the condensation has already gone down.
I'm using a heat mat under one side, should I have a lamp as well?
So I havent gotten my hands on a thermometer or hygrometer yet is that really bad? I meant to get them for my corn but he seems to be fine regarding temp but obviously I know you're supposed to keep an eye on that kind of thing. Just dont have any spare money to get them atm..
Do you think she looks small? What weight/ length is normal for a year and a half? Ill weigh her this evening and ill try measure her as well

An Acurite thermometer/hygrometer at Walmart is $15. You attach the probe to the plastic directly over the heat tape (where she lays for her hot spot), and place the unit at the other end of the tub for an ambient measurement. You must KNOW your temps. Do you have the heat tape on any kind of dimmer or thermostat.

Make sure you know your temps and regulate them. No lamp needed if you you have a heat mat.

ONLY if the ambient temps measure at a reasonable level. The hot spot can be 90deg with a heat mat, but if the ambient temp is still only 69deg, then you need a second heat source.

That is true though in Az. we have a hard time with humidity so lamps are bad.

Unfortunately we don't have cheap shops like that over here in Ireland (unless anyone wants to point me in the right direction?), was looking around at prices and they're around €16 for a thermometer and hygrometer each I know that may sound like not much to you, but over here, that's a weeks food for myself and my boyfriend!
Was looking on ebay, and I'm kind of hesitant as I'm not sure what constitutes a "good" one or not... What do you think of this one? Does it look any good? I hope don't sound like a cheapskate!!

The heat mat is just by itself, plugged into the wall.
