Depending on the size of this ball python, you may want to start out with a tub setup then migrate to a PVC enclosure.
Glass can be infuriating if you are not in a certain part of the country that is easier on their husbandry requirements.
Minimal listings of what you need are:
- enclosure with escape proof lid
- heat source(s) depending on how warm the room they are kept in
- thermostat for each heat source (not an option)
- 2 hides - on on warm and one on cold side
- water bowl
- substrate
- clutter as in decor for them to feel comfortable in
- thermometers and not those analog stick on ones you find at petco. Digital thermometers. Preferably also an infrared temp gun
- humidity gauge and also not one of those horrible analog stick on ones but a digital one
Some optional items that can help
- misting bottle for water mistings that keep humidity up
- light if you do not have a day night cycle of ambient light in the room. Ball pythons need a natural light cycle even though they are nocturnal. It helps them keep normal rhythms. Thankfully most ambient light in the room is sufficient
- tongs, tweezers, or hemostats for feeding
- the location of the closest exotic vet if something goes wrong
