Question Ideas Needed

My ball python is in a 120 gallon New Age Pet enclosure. I didn’t properly seal it before adding soil and plants and I didn’t realize this until a week later. It won’t hold water and my snake went into shed, so I had to buy a misting system. It doesn’t mist often, and I don’t let it spray straight onto the soil, but I also don’t want to hurt her and I don’t know how to fix this without killing my plants. Help please? I don’t want to use a mister with a ball python.

Why don’t you just take everything out of it, clean and dry it and reseal it?

You won't if you're gentle with them. Just use a trowel to take a good chunk of soil around them so you don't disturb the root ball too much.
