I just wanted to know what equipment is needed to keep a Stimson Python? I went to the pet shop today, and the owner said that i will need a UV light, heat lamp, and a basking light, and possibly a heat mat as well, is this true. Would i need sand for the bottom of where i am keeping it too? And what are some of the things i can use to house a snake (the cheaper way preferably)?

All you need is a click clack, a heat pad/cord, a thermostat, a hide and a water bowl.

A 900 x 600 x 600 enclosure, one 75W globe, the UV is up to you if you want it same say yes some will say no but for the price I use them.
Don't use sand - breeders choice kitty litter or news paper.

Sorry when it was first written it had a list of basic requirements, but it has been modified so many times now. All you need is a click clack, a heat pad/cord, a thermostat, a hide and a water bowl as Mr bredli said, and news paper is a good substraight.

Thanks, so would the heat mat melt the plastic click clak? And is there anyone on here selling any?

It shouldn't get that hot, but it should be connected to a thermostat anyway to ensure it doesn't ever go above 32 degrees (the ideal temp).

Okay thanks, a few people at the pet shop told me it would melt it. But i was thinking, 30 degrees celcius isn't that hot, and i dont think that a plastic click clak would even melt on a day were the temperature was 40 degrees celcius out side.

Be very cautious of information given to you at a pet shop

Yer sounds like a dodgy petshop , best to talk to someone who keeps em , not just sells em.
