Hows my set up?

and how can i make it better? Thanks yall.

It's a 20 large. Hiding place might be a bit too big for the snake... When i get money i might just buy 2 smaller hiding place... I am not sure yet. I have a thermostat, I have the heating bulb that doesn't light up, but does heat, it's for reptiles.

UTH: Under tank Heater

Safer, works better...

Looks good... just a few things:

Like LadyOhh said, you should get a UTH for heat from below. Snakes don't bask the same way lizards do, so they don't really need heat from above. Also, lamp heat sucks out moisture.

Cover the back and both sides with some opaque background to help the snake feel more secure...especially with only one hide. Getting two smaller hides, as you said, is a good goal.

Maybe add some greenery, like a soft fake vine, around those bare vines to lessen the open space in there.

I actually have 2 UTH, but not installed, I though this would had been better. Should i put the UTH Under the hiding place? middle? or in all way to the right?

Your UTH should be all the way to one side (the warm side). BP's thermoregulate, that means that you need to supply them with a warm side and a cool side. The UTH should cover no more than about a third of the bottom so if your thermostat fails the snaks can escape the heat. You souldn't hook up a UTH without a thermostat. Check out some of the stickies on setting up a tank.

Yeah i joined back then when i was thinking of getting a ball python but never did. Ended up getting a corn snake and it died around a week after i bought it. Now i have a 1 month old ball python. Had it for a week now.

Did you ever figure out what happend to your Corn Snake. So sorry. Is your BP in the tank you pictured?

Well, it seemed like it choked it self... It was in a real weird position when i saw it... idk , Yes the ball python was hiding, here is a pic of her.

I don't think your month old BP will be very happy in that tank. It's waaaaayyyy too big. A ten gallon would be more than enough. And a small tub may be even better for you. I made the same mistake!!!
