Congrats on your first snake., I bet you cant wait 
What type are you getting?
Heat cord or mat & a thermostat is a good start.

|  | Regular Member | | | | | Yeah i forgot to say heatmat or cord with a thermostat as well, I find light globe box's to be the best hides for young snakes you can even cut them down to make them smaller.

A hide in both the hot and the cold end of the click clack. (I’ve used the little boxes that light bulbs come in, toilet roll with one end crushed and just any small cardboard box I can find)
Water bowl in the cool end of the click clack.
That’s about it. Oh you can add a perch in there too, mine likes to climb on hers at night.

Dont forget to put air holes in the container/click clack. |
