Not reading all 5 pages, But your issues are the cage.
If your goign to use a huge cage, best be able to keep humidity and temps right. The lamp is drying out the air.
If shes always climbing to the top to get ot the heat, the temps must be too cool on the bottom. Ball Pythons are not climbers, and will injure themselves doing so with a cage that size. I would section the bottom shelf into its own cage and use the top half for storage or something.
