    I would just start over. As CALM posted, it is a bit overkill. I provide 5 things for balls, and they are super healthy.
    1)A constant thermal gradient, 78-90 degrees, the floor plan of their rack tub is large enough they can choose which temperature that want in that range.
    2)Darkness and shelter. They are in 55 quart rack tubs, the rack shelves keep it dark as there is only one side that they can be seen through, so they feel hidden from predators. They all have hides, at least two tight places they curl up in to feel protected. One on the cooler side of the tub, one on the Warner side.
    3)Humidity and water
    I use coconut husk fiber, that I mist as needed with a spray bottle, the coconut fiber keeps the ventilated tub humid with very little effort. In the winter, or when the air is arid, I run a whole house humidifier to keep the ambient house humidity above 50%. It helps my children and I breathe better, keeps the sinuses healthy, kills the flu virus, as well as makes it easier to maintain 55-75% humidity for my snakes. I also keep a non-tippable water bowl full of clean water at all times.
    4)Substrate Already mentioned above that I use coconut fiber for humidity, but it also makes excellent bedding for my snakes to burrow in, as well as absorbing liquid or odor from any waste the snakes excrete. I spot clean the waste from the substrate daily.
    5)Food. I feed them a rat once a week or so.

    BOOM that is it, done.
