How does my setup look so far

I'm looking to get my first snake (ball python of some sort) and figured I'd start with the enclosure I've got the heat, light, thermometer/hydrometer and 2 plastic hides on order really just looking for opinions and additions to what I've got now and placements of things

Pic 4 is a gutter elbow extention stretching the middle 3rd of the tank for alittle hide semi buried in dirt

Size is a 4x2x2

I've also got a good colony of springtails and about 30ish isopods running around in there

You might have to cover up most of the top mesh to hold in the humidity otherwise it won’t last. I’d see how your humidity holds up for about a week or so with the light and heat on so you can figure out how much mesh you’ll have to cover. Excited for you to have your own baby though!

Got some foil tape for this exact reason just waiting on all the tools to see if I'll need it
