Tank Setup

I wanted to make sure if my tank setup is suitable for a baby ball python

Two hides, water, cypress substrate -- so far so good! What are you looking at as far as temperatures and humidity are concerned? And do you have an under-tank heater, or is the lamp your heat source?

If you've read around here a bit you've likely seen folks mention that screen-topped tanks can be challenging as far as maintaining proper humidity is concerned -- if your humidity is running lower than 50-60%, you will want to explore some options to raise those levels. Also, another thing you've likely read on the boards is that some small BPs find a larger tank a bit overwhelming. I see all the plants you have in which I've seen referenced as a good way to make a baby snake feel more "snug" and less lost.

I'll hush for now and let the more experienced folks chime in, because my experience with BPs is admittedly limited

Here's a great thread on setting up a BP tank enclosure, if you haven't already seen it: The jfreels glass tank setup w/pics.

my temps are perfect and i have a UTH. I just want to make sure that its not too open where the snake will get stressed.

Does your Uth have a thermostat?
If so, it looks pretty good

Yes I have a Hydrofarm

Nice. I took the foil treatment one step further for my screen top. Used 0.093" acrylic sheeting, cut to fit exact. Taped that monkey down with foil HVAC tape, covered the entire acrylic on one side to get the reflective affect like foil. Left ventilation gap w/smaller foil tape covered square pieces of different sizes in case I need to adjust. I need to take a pic... The entire screen top looks like chrome metal. Fashion AND function! \m/
