Hi there there! I am new to the forum, and I actually don't own a ball python...yet. I have some general care questions about them. I have done my research and plan to do more, but I like to hear from experienced people as well.

Tank size: 20 gallon for young Python, 30 gallon for adult.

Heating: 85-90 basking area, general tank heat 80-85

Lighting: not sure...

Humidity: 50-60%

Food: Frozen rats no bigger than width of Python

Water: dechlorinated clean dish

Substrate: coco fiber, jungle mix. Are there any substrates I shouldn't use?

Do these snakes smell?

As I said before, I have yet to do more research, but if I'm getting anything wrong please let me know!
