Maybe get some Crested Geckos, Tree Frogs, etc. Something that will actually appreciate the space and the time you took to decorate it.

The Ball is just going to be stressed to the max, squished in a hide 24/7.
Totally agree. Frogs, arboreal snakes, iggies look nice in display tanks ... but a BP? It can be totally detrimental to the snake's well being.

You have to ask yourself what are your priorities and wether having an aesthetic setup to show-off to your friends and family is worth the stress caused to the snake. It's your snake after all.
