I have a UTH pad with coconut fiber as a substrate to help with the humidity and aspen on top to help the cleaning process be a bit easier. The Humidity level is always at 50-60. I have two heat lamps. One for the Day time that has the temp around 85 and a night lamp that the temp is around 80. As far as the Pop/mouse, it wasn't the entire mouse, it was just a ball of Fur with no smell. I am also interested in switching to tubs when the snake gets bigger but i'm not sure what to buy and how to really set it up. Can anyone link me to a Tub set up guide?
I think before you go and start thinking about tub set up for when your snake gets older...read up on the proper care of ball pythons. Theres a great write up in the husbandry section. Your temperatures seem way off...and the poor thing is having "spasms" and possible regurges. Lets focus on keeping him healthy in the present, and not future cage setups.
