Great looking snake, but from the pictures it looks like your set up is seriously lacking, for many of the same reasons in this thread http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=56280.

Please get 2 identical hide. Half cut wood logs are not suitable, for BP's. Also the skull looks like it does little to nothing for snake security, albeit looking cool. BP's like things that are cave or burrow like, so small, dark and only one entrance. You can make hides out of plastic bowls by cutting a door and turning it upside down. If you want something more natural try these by Exo Terra. I use them for my snakes, medium sized.

I'm kind of curious on the 2 heat lamps I see on there. Both heat or is one light? If one is light you can toss it, BP's don't need a light source and heat is best supplied through belly heat or and UTH( Under Tank Heater)

I see you have an analog guage. Those are inaccurate and don't tell you all the information you need. You want to know what the snakes temp is generally which would be at ground level, so I would get an Accurite from Walmart. They cost $12 and they are in the indoor/outdoor temp section. It has a prob so you can measure belly heat, the unit reads ambient temp, and it also read humidty which is especially important for sheds.

Finally the substrate looks like it could cause you some problems. It looks like just dirt, correct? Now if I am wrong someone say it, but I think dirt, like sand, is small enough to get into heat pits and scales and it will overall be negative on the snake. I would suggest aspen. It cheap ad can be thrown away easily, plus my snakes like pushing it around.
