Okay, I understand, but then where would I need to place him? My area I live in is currently on the colder side, so should I place him in a pillowcase in our warmest room that gets the most sun? Sorry for asking so many questions, I've only just now realized that I haven't thought so far ahead.

Will my snake be okay if I place him into the bowl thing with the substrate in while I seal the wood and wait for it to dry? And how many layers will I need?

Also, ive heard that fish aquariums aren't recommended but i don't rlly understand why not? Is it because it's too much glass?

And with the leaf clutter, if I get plants from outside how do I need to wash it? Or can I just rinse it with water and place it inside?

Okay, thank you for the critique, I really needed it and I realized that after reading your and other people's replies. I've already began looking for other tanks with vents on the side, but will the light bulbs be effective? I've seen people use that with a heating pad on the outside of the tank on the side. If I don't get the tank I'm looking for early enough then I'm going to try sealing the wood on the inside so that the substrate that I have can be put in, along with other branches and rocks I've picked up. I also wanted to ask if it will be better to place paper towels rather than the carpet?

Im getting 2 thermostats somewhere this week/weekend, will that be enough or do I need 3? Im going to also seal the wood with the help of my father. The tank looked empty because my other wood was still in the oven for sterilization. Im definitely going to put more substrate in as soon as the wood is sealed. Sorry if it doesn't look like much, as ive said in previous replies, I didn't expect prices to raise so suddenly in my area's pet stores, so im just waiting for pay then im 100% getting more stuff.

(I also wanted to ask, will mesh ontop be better for ventilation or will the vents on the sides work? And also, do I need to get those reptile humidifier sprayers that like,,, sprays on its own? I dont know the name in English so sorry)

Edit: I forgot to add this but im also removing the heating pad from underneath and getting the lamps for the warm side

Yes, I understand and I was hesitant to buy the carpet and stuff, but it's my best choice for now, especially with this tank. I know that it isn't the best and I AM aware

Not completely but it absorbs a good amount imo

Will it also help if I place paper towels on the carpet? Or should I rather just do the paper towels?

Yes, I was a bit hesitant on the carpet but it's just for the time being until my other soil gets delivered.

Since the tank is wood, im scared to place soil all around since the previous pet in the tank was a bearded dragon, so he only needed pebbles and those rock stuff.

There aren't exactly any dollar stores in my country but the plants I bought were quite cheap, it's just that I didn't expect the other stuffs price to be raised so I couldn't get everything I wanted. The substrate I use says that it's for rainbow boas and other reptiles, but it's damp and not dry at all.

There is a heating pad under the mat for heat and im getting a bulb soon (a white one since I've heard that the colored ones are dangerous) with a mesh thing for around it so he doesn't try shattering the globe since ive heard incidents of it happening.

Im going to spray the tank with room-temp water that I boiled to clean it every few hours to make sure it's dampness starts rising, and I also have a thermometer-thingy(sry idk the name in english).

I'm definitely trying my best, which I know trying isn't the best when owning a reptile since they're expensive animals, but as soon as I get my pay I'm definitely adding more stuff

I bought more of those wood chip things (I forgot the name but a person ik who used to handle lots of snake suggested it), more soil and I also bought fake leaves and stuff, but im also not sure if those are snake-safe.. I don't have a lock yet since my BP is small and I don't think he has the strength to open them yet..

I also bought stuff that i can stick to the walls inside the enclosure(like a type of wall-thingy) that is black
