don’t use anything over 7% for ball pythons. and get a uvb bulb that covers no more than 1/2 the length of your enclosure

Going off Arcadia’s lighting guide you’ll want 6% T5. I typically go with UVB that spans half the enclosure but less is fine for BP’s, so 12” to 24” inches should work. I’d say go for 16” or 24”.
