The right heat is needed for digestion. It’s very important to have a heat gradient. One side should be hotter than the other. Use the ceramic element on the same side as the under tank heater. A cheep cover is clear vinyl. You can role it back as needed, and it’s great to hold in humidity (you need some of that so your snake can shed properly). Also give your snake a hiding spot on the cold side and the hot side so it won’t pick security over comfort. Put the water on the cold side also. Get a book on Ball Pythons!

Good Luck!

PS: When your snake sheds make sure the eye covers are in the shed skin
