I have a 25 year old ball python . I keep him in a 40 gallon tank / reptile tank . I keep it at 85/90 degrees in the day and let it drop to 78/80 degrees at night . They're nocturnal so feed in the evenings or early morning . This is how I've been doing it for years like this . As far as bedding I use paper towels . I find wood chips get stuck in their mouth and it's not cheap . I use a 60 watt lamp over head with a che on a thermostat at night .
Mike, are you awake?
