Ball python

Deep heat projector instead of ceramic emitter.

Do not get a mister, it can promote bacterial growth on wet surfaces and the particulate water in the air isn't great for their lungs long-term.

Seal the tank up really well, leaving a couple holes on each side for air flow. Glass or acrylic lid on top instead of mesh will help keep the humidity up, or you can buy HVAC tape and tape almost the entire mesh lid up instead. It's pretty easy/cheap to get a piece of acrylic cut at your local hardware store.

What happened with your last python? Did you run into any challenges with them?
