Visions have odd shapes. The ceilings are hard to mount a RHP if you want and I just do not like the design at all. Mine warped after 6 months of heat. The floor bowed upwards in the center.
Animal Plastics is my winner. I will never, ever, ever order another Brand.
I have 2 T12’s and a T70.
They are 1/2” and the glass sliders are great.
I suggest a T8 or T10 for ball pythons. Mine have been in there PVC enclosures since after the 3 month quarantine. They love them and are very active when given the opportunity. I have PVC in my enclosures and my Balls climb every night. People that say they are pet Rocks never gave them a chance or bought unhealthy badly bred snakes.
Id recommend a Pro panel 120 watt RHP ($130) and a Herpstat to run it. The T8 is on sale for $165 plus $50 shipping.
I buy to buy once and the safest for all my animals even if I have to wait for funds. Ive been running Herpstats and Pro panels without a hic-cup for a decade.
Best out there.
Products I Use :
Enclosures- Animal Plastics: Good things come to those who wait. A 3-4 month wait on these enclosures, but the quality is worth it. Ive tried them all from Boaphile to Vision and there is no comparison:

RHP - Pro Products: is a top of the line Radiant Heat Panel:

Thermostats - Herpstat is one of the best if not #1 for quality and safety:

Thermometer- Sensor Push. This was a great investment. I do not have the WIFI Gateway station ($99) to monitor while Im away from home, I use them on Bluetooth for phone/Ipad etc..at home monitoring. I have these in all of my enclosures for cool side ambient and humidity monitoring:

Butcher Paper. Zoro has several sizes and great prices. If you want 60lb paper it is Brown. I use 2 sheets of 40lb because I like the white. Easy to see a mess. Best prices are available through Zoro’s ebay , you can also shop on their online store:

Hides- Reptile Basics has the best injection mold quality. They are not sharp or brittle, don’t be fooled by “look alike” PVC Hides:

Super helpful info as you've been using these for 10 years and rotated around the other vendors. I've heard the same things about Boaphile (thin PVC) for a while.
Quick question, how'd you mount the pole diagonally in that setup??
