First ball python setup

[Tewchainz]

Hello, I've been looking around for a tub setup and I was wondering if you guys could give me your feeedback. I would like to make my first as smooth as possible but will also be good for the python.

As far as thermostat, I'm not sure which one to get. I'll only get one python for now until I get more comfortable.

I understand that you get what you pay for but do I really have to buy a hersptat or any other thermostat costing $100+ just for one snake?

Please feel to leave your feedback, any suggestions are welcome since I have absolutely no Idea what I'm talking about.

Thank you so much for your time!
