an under tank heat pad is necessary as a primary heat source. use a heat pad that's large enough to cover 1/3 to 1/2 of the floor. you must also use a thermostat with the heat pad, to ensure proper safe temperatures are maintained. a ceramic heat emitter can be used as supplemental heat, but with a well insulated enclosure kept in a room that's not too cold, a heat lamp should not be necessary.
the tank size depends on the snake size. length of tank plus width of tank should be equal to or greater than length of snake. ball pythons are terrestrial/burrowing snakes, so they don't need a tank that's particularly tall.
my 4'3" ball python is housed in a 421D boaphile cage with the following equipment/accessories:
i also have a temp gun to spot-check the temperature anywhere in the enclosure.
That's awesome that you moved from sand, it can actually kill leos, particularly babies. The cricket stuff you're using sounds good too!
As for suggestions, definitely the UTH and thermostat combo I linked, since those are both decently priced. I've used these hides and have liked them, but you can definitely get away with just buying the Petsmart/Petco ones and it may be a little cheaper. Likewise, some people just cut opaque tupperware or use broken (but smooth-edged) pots and stuff as well. I even had a friend who made their hides out of legos.
I bought it at my local pet shop the day I got my snake, but it's also available here: https://www.amazon.com/Exo-Terra-Glow-Mushrooms-Hideout/dp/B00OQPG2H0
was actually looking at some of the exo-terra hides on amazon. Open for any suggestions.

This. He loves it; spends like 70% of his time either curled up inside it, wrapped around it, or poking his head out of one of the holes :)
Shavas loves her Turtle Shell Hide its it rather big so she can curl up in it if she wants to but a bunch of times she just likes to stick her head in and have the rest of her body flopped out of it when she sleeps.
