With a ball python that small i would almost say that he would be really comfortable in a ten gallon tank. Often the hide that you are using is good for lizards and other species of snakes. Ball pythons really like tight hiding spots and never really like to be out in the open. I would suggest getting smaller hides that will fit him nice and snug and provide one for his hot side (over the heating pad) and one on the cold side.

Also do you know the temperature that your heat pad is at? Also do you regulate this heat pad with a thermostat? An unregulated heat pad can fluctuate in temperatures as well as burn your snakes, not saying that your will but its often the case with unregulated heat pads.

Also i noticed that you are using gauges to measure what i presume is the air temperature and humidity. Often DIGITAL devices have a error range of about +3 degrees and even 5% in humidity, so using gauges only introduces more error into the enclosure. I would also suggest that you run to walmart and pick up a cheap thermometer and Hygrometers, often they are sold in one unit and are only about 10 US dollars.

Answer some more of the questions i have put forward and i am sure the community as well as myself can help you out!
