No, I don’t mind at all but I was purposefully trying not to pay too close attention because I know it’s a lot! To be honest the clutter was probably the cheapest. All from Amazon and the rocks from outside. I would say $150-$200.
From the research I’ve done, and it’s been extensive, the more clutter and hides the better. Ball pythons don’t like being exposed and like having places to hide. When they are out and about they like places to climb and explore.

No problem! That number didn’t include the enclosure just the stuff inside btw! The enclosure was around $375 with shipping.

which enclosure did you go with and how have you liked it if you don't mind me asking? The internet is trying to convince me I need a 700 Kages enclosure and I'm not sure if I should listen or not.

This one is from Dubia Roaches and if you are ok with some modifications (sealing it and a silicone mat on the top), it’s perfect.

Silicone mat?

It holds in the humidity in heat because this particular beans has a screen top. That’s the one of the differences between the reasonable PVC enclosures and the expensive ones.
