I have a MacDonell Rangers Stimson Python she is 5 months old, and is extremely placid and has a strong feeding response, never bitten or striked.

Temperatures should be:

Hot End: 30º - 32º
Cool End: 24º - 26º

I used a click clack for my stimson for around 2 weeks. I have my MD in one at the moment and I have:

2 x Hides (One in the hot end and one in the cool end)
1 x Water Dish (Large enough for him to fit in to soak if he needs)
1 x toilet roll (extra hide)
1 x Paper Towel roll (with a square cut in the top and then placed along the middle of the click clack so it's about the ground of the click clack and he can hide in it)
1 x Branch (for the snake to climb on)

Have you thought about what kind of substrate you want to use? In my stimsons enclosure I have newspaper on the bottom and then Breeders Choice on top. In the MD's Click clack I just have newspaper as it's easy to clean, plus given the chance they'll hide in it.

When you get your new snake, try not to handle him for 1 - 2 weeks, he'll need to calm down. You can attempt to feed him after 1 week, but 2 is probably best.
