Hey everyone,

I just have a couple questions about setting up my baby Ball Python's tank. I just purchased her yesterday, and she is only 2 and a half months old. As you can see from my picture below, she is in a 40 gallon tank, and I only have one 75W light on it. Now from doing some research on the internet, I'm under the impression that I need another light (for night time), and some sort of under-tank heating pad. My question is: is it absolutely necessary that I get these things right away? If these are things that are crucial to my snake's health, then I will go out and purchase them ASAP...I just want to make sure that I'm not hurting her by only having one light at the moment. Also, is 75W enough for a 40 gal tank? The pet store told me it's fine, but it seems like there are a vast variety of opinions out there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my current setup. Feel free to make any suggestions!
