You get a cool and hot side by having the heat source on one side only , this should give the enclosure a thermal gradient of hot to cold across the bottom. Do you have a IR temperature gun? If not buy one! Ypu can test surface temperatures with the laser beam. I dont feel you need a elevated hide. You just need stuff for a jungle python to climb on and hides on the hot and cool side.
You do not need to keep the water elevated either.
You really Only need to mist if its going into shed. I live in NSW and 40° heat and with the occasional mist my snakes shed perfectly.
Some natural sunlight is good and wont hurt the animal.
Lots of stuff like branches and things to climb on is good but dont just go out and find them and put them in the enclosure. They need to be treated for pests first.
