It looks like a lot of steps for posting picture, but once you do it a couple times it's really easy. Here's my 20 gal long terrarium just before I put my baby Blood Python in it. The same principal applies for ball pythons. Even though it's a big terrarium there isn't much open floor space for a snake to feel exposed and/or insecure. A ball python can live easily in one of these for 2+ years before having to upgrade to a 40 gallon, which is ideal for an adult. Hope this helps.
