No offense intended but...watch it do what? Ball pythons are nocturnal and spend the entire day sleeping. They will come out at night, but aren't particularly active.

If you'd like a light just for aesthetic purposes then go with a fluorescent light as they do not emit much heat, which keeps your humidity high.
