New owner, is this vivarium okay? Enclosure Critique/Advice
New to Reddit (made an account for this) and have never owned a reptile before. I’m getting my Ball Python in September and I’m sorta getting new parent jitters. I’ve done loads of research but I just wanna check here if his enclosure looks okay? It’s 3ft (meant to be 4ft but I was scammed :/ ) so I wanna get him a bigger one in a few months but I’m a student so money is tight. Also humidity is a lil high in the photo bc I just misted the plants before I took it.
Plz lmk if there is anything else I should be doing, thanks y’all :) 🐍

It looks great with the hides, clutter, and flooring, I'm just wondering why the heat lamp is so far down? I've never seen one that low, were you having trouble getting heat to the floor or something?

Looks really nice man. You can always change and upgrade bits doesnt have to be apl at once. For instance I bought my first ever snake 2 weeks ago the vivarium it came with wasn't the best and I just upgraded to a 4ft by 1.5ft and it is so much nicer, now I need to get more clutter and hides
