My boyfriend and I just got my Ball Python from Petco, we also got a deluxe snake kit. It comes with a little house, a water bowl wood chips, and two lamps(a day lamp and a night lamp). We also bought an extra piece of driftwood, which Salazar likes to lay upon. I keep reading on here that Ball Pythons tend to hide a lot, but I guess that depends on the snake. Salazar is a huge ham and he loves attention and comes out a lot, not just at night. But, of course, not every snake is the same, so decorate your tank according to your snakes needs; If your snake is more of a hider, I'd put more sheltered areas in the tank. If your snake likes to be out more, then place less objects in your cage.
