Well here is my 2 cents... it looks like the tank is 36L x 18D x 36H? First take down those high branches ... i have climbing rods but not high enough for the snake to fall and hurt themselves.. falling from 30” is to much for a Ball Python, both of my Balls Climb and the species are NOT experts and mine have been practicing for years...nothing like Arboreal snakes.
As far as the tank and Heating.. what I would do is get a large UTH so it covers about 1/2 the enclosure floor. Set the TStat to get a floor temp of 90. (Glass temp not substrate). Then I would use the CHE for ambient over the cool side hide. With the CHE that high up you wont need a Tstat on it. But you need one for the UTH to get your hot spot dialed in. This will allow the snake to get his basking for food digestion without climbing and also stop any chances of burns from getting to close. The decor is pretty, but lower those branches so he can only get 1/2 way up the tank hight.
