What size is the snake?
What heating element do you use?
I only see one thermostat, do you have a second to monitor the hot and cold side?
Did you sanitize everything before putting it in?
While aesthetically it is appealing, its very cluttered which,
1. You have a lot more to clean when cleaning the tank
2. Will make it hard for the snake to navigate around.
youll find in regards to balls, simple is better. 2 hides and water dish in the center. (and also appropriate heat and gauges)
the lid scares me, I would find a better fitting one quickly until then move the bungee cords farther to the outside (youd be surprised what snakes can lift up and break out of) also since you are using a glass tank, id find a way to cover 3 sides making it darker. balls don't like to be show snakes and will be inconsistent with eating if they are stressed because they feel highly visable.
Again, very nice looking setup but I wouldn't call it ideal for a ball.
Ideally, if you plan on getting a lot of snakes, tubs are a good recommendation, if you plan on only having a few (a hard urge to control) PVC cages (animal plastics, boaphile etc) are good choices.
