I would suggest using dark colored tupperware containers for hides for your Ball Python - They are cheap, won't fall apart like the cardboard when they get wet or pooped on, and they provide tight, secure cover. Simply cut a hole in the side of the container with a hunters knige or heavy duty scissors, burn the sides of the hole with a lighter or grind down the sides with sand paper so your snake doesn't get cut and your hide is done. Very easy to do.
I would suggest using a non-skid dog or cat bowl, the bowl has dome like sides so your snake wouldn't be able to tip it over like the bowl you currently have.
One more thing, i would tape construction paper or newspaper around 3/4th's of the outside of the tank to give your snake the security she/he needs, tanks are very open and cause a lot of stress for snakes because they feel vunerable and exposed
If you make these changes then this enclosure will absolutely work temporarily. Congratulations on your new snake!
