Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new ball python!
Here is the caresheet, which will answer your temp/humidity question: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...ius)-Caresheet
You need to get a thermostat for the UTH before you cause a burn. Heat sources need to be regulated, especially those death traps. Even a small one can cause a severe burn. Again, welcome!
Edit: As the other person said, I didn't notice, but if that is tape it does need to be removed like now. Tape should never be used inside an enclosure...
