    Interesting! Nice looking snake
    What kind of substrate is that?
    You will want to get that tank off the floor, or at least have it raised a bit somehow so there is proper air flow for the UTH - it is a firehazard otherwise!!

    I think you meant thermostat, not hygrometer hygrometers measure humidity levels, thermostats control heat output (ex. of UTHes). How are the temps looking?

    I suggest swapping that heat bulb for a heat emitting bulb (or, if you want to see your snake at night and don't mind the glow) a red or black bulb. That way you don't have to turn it off at night, as red does not bother ball pythons (they can't see it on its own). You don't want temps dropping at night, you want it to remain around 80F ambient all the time

    I love the idea of carboard hides. They are great when snakes aren't done growing! Or if you just don't want to invest in super expensive store bought hides!
    One last comment. THE WATER IS SO BLUE. WHAT'S WITH THE BLUE?? LOL!

    Best of luck
