Getting stimmie tomorrow - housing?

[Serpentsalem]

Picking up my first snake tomorrow... she’s a Stimsons python! just wondering how I should go about housing as I’ve read a lot that a click clack container is reccomended... if so, could someone please explain to me how big it would need to be and also how I would go about hearing it?

thank you so much. Very much appreciated.

Maybe 3 or so months?

You would want a small tub 5L reject shop tub (quadrant brand)

With a heat mat underneat tub 1 3rd, and 2 toilet paper rolls as hides, one on hot end one on cool end

And a cheap water bowl with a wide base to stop spilling

And of course a thermostat to control temperature and a thermometer (ideally an IR temp gun) to measure it.
