I would put the uth under the tank and not in it. I would use tinfoil to cover the screen and not a towel. Ball pythons like tight fitting hides. Your hides might be too open. If your determined to use them then you will just need to see how he/she acts. Be careful with the vines as I have seen ball pythons get stuck in them. If your humidity is right you should not need moss in the cave. I would pick up a temp gun to measure your surface temps![]()
