There are tonnes of threads on keeping all sorts of snakes on this forum (strangely enough). Why not do a search. Its the link up the top with the letters S.E.A.R.C.H. It works well.

The price depends on where you live
They grow to around 100cm
The tank depends on the size of the snake - eg hatchling will only need a click clack
The cost depends on the brands but I'd estimate approx $400 (in WA) for an adults set up
And once again depends where you live!

What size tank would a 1m adult need?

The smallest I'd use is 2ft but make sure there aren't any gaps because Stimson's are very good at escaping!

Well there isn't any limit really. Getting a huge enclosure for one stimmy would be a bit of a waste though.

theres loads of great care sheets on them. try a google search or as falconboy said use the search function on aps..
i keep my stimi in a click clack because it is so much easier to maintain a hot spot of 30 degrees in a small area.

~3' (90cm)
Anything from a 40L tub to a 3' or 4' enclosure (read the lit on enclosure sizes)
Twice the distance from the centre to either end (sorry I though you were asking how long is a piece of string)
Seek and you shall find
I can't recommend the keeping series of books enough for new reptile keepers (or those who intend on keeping new types. There is one on Keeping Childrens Pythons with covers all the Anteresias. I am yet to come across anything that contradicts the basic info in these books. Having read most books from Barker '94 to Mike Swans recent release, I think you could feel comfortable that you won't go too far wrong with this book.
