Providing this is the case (which it should be if you're buying from a reputable breeder), you could put the snake straight into a 2ft or 3ft enclosure, as BHP hatchies are quite large straight from the egg. Provide a basking spot of 32-34 degrees, and a cool spot of 25-26 degrees and you shouldn't have any problems.
