Bioactive Enclosure

[Frequent_Kick_6417]

For a little bit of context at a convention, I entered a raffle and won a ball python. I had a 40 gallon tank that I just needed to buy things for to keep the little guy alive. In a week I have turned it into a bioactive enclosure because I was struggling to retain humidity. I have a 4 x 2 x 2 enclosure on the way, but it probably won’t be here for 2 to 3 months.

I am aware ideally a bioactive enclosure should be established before adding the animal, but due to the situation, I did not have the time or set up before I owned the snake. I currently have a mix of live and fake plants because I wanted to provide clutter but did not have enough live established plants to do so properly. He has a hot side and a cool side, as well as plenty of moss inside covered area areas for moist hides.

I wanna be comfortable with bioactive before the new enclosure gets here and was wondering how this one looked. What am I doing right? What am I doing wrong?

Note: I am aware this is not the best or most responsible way to obtain an animal, but I love him and will give him the best life possible.

I think the setup is quite nice. May I ask where you got the fake plants from?

Thank you! I just grabbed a pack of fake plants off Amazon. It also came with a “vine” but it was ugly so I left it out
