First timer here. Need to stop freaking out.

Hi there and welcome! I have pretty much the same exact setup for my one and only tank. Here are a few pointers.
Do you have a dimmer for the heat pad? (not the lamp...)
I use the Zoomed heat pad for 10-20 gallon tanks...and the temps on the bottom of the glass have exceeded 130* which WILL burn your snake. My suggestion is to buy a plug in lamp dimmer from Home Depot for about $10.00. With that same heat mat, the dimmer is set to less than halfway, that is how hot they get. I have seen some really horrific burns from a heat pad, and I'd hate for you to go through all this and then feel horrible when your snake gets a severe burn...The dimmer is a necessity if you do not have a thermostat, which the cheapest one you should consider is either a Johnson or a Ranco, for around $50.00. So if you monitor your temps daily, the dimmer will work just fine...which leads me to this next thing.

I live by a temp gun. Some people will say a thermometer will be sufficient, but you NEED something to monitor that heat pad, and the digital thermometers just don't do it. They are great for ambient temps, but not so much for the actual hot spot located right above the heat pad. I bought mine at tempguns.com because they are having a sale on one of their best models for $35.00, but Home Depot does carry temp guns, and other various online stores carry them. Try not to save for accuracy. Mine is <=2* which means it is accurate within 2* or less.

As far as the lighting, there has been NO research saying that ball pythons need UV light. I have looked and sought it out, and I can't find it. (I know people hate when we say this...) but in the wild, they live in Africa and are nocturnal. They burrow during the day and don't see the light anyways. I have seen many ball pythons thrive without it, and honestly the UV "day" light you have will only suck the humidity out of your tank. For ambient temps, I keep my black "night" light on 24 hours a day. I shut it off as needed, such as if it's a warm day and the temps in my house go above 75*, or the light comes through the window, etc. The night light is more than enough to keep ambient temps, and I found the day light was making it too hot.

Humidity will be a huge problem in a glass tank. I use the aspen bedding and it does nothing to help. I keep a mist spray bottle next to my tank, and spray about 3 times a day. Just yesterday I made him a humid hide made from a $3.00 tupperware container, cut a hole in the side, put some bedding on the bottom (the lid stays on) and soaked some coconut bark in hot water and put it along the back and sides. He checked it out last night, I'm curious to see if he uses it, but that's a good way to not worry so much about the humidity in the tank if she has a humid hide.

Thousands of people feed in the same container. I do not. I keep a separate feeding container and feed him in there. It's funny because he knows as soon as he gets put in it, he's going to eat, he starts "S"ing up, and all I have to do is dangle the f/t rat for 3 seconds and BAM it's gone. People disagree, but it keeps my mind at peace knowing that he won't take my hand off one day when he's hungry lol.

Another thing I suggest is to get (at Home Depot) black adhesive Con-tact paper and cover the sides and back of the tank. I saw a huge difference in my snake once I did that, it makes them feel secure even outside the hide.

Here is my setup. The only changes are I removed the smaller water dish and put in his humid hide instead. But other than that, this is what my Julius lives in. If you have any other questions feel free to ask
