Hi, all!
I’m very new to this site and also to reptile keeping in general. Up until late last year I was pretty afraid of snakes but then I started learning about them and a couple months go by and suddenly I’m in love, haha!

I’m getting my first snake in about a months time and it’s a diamond python hatchling. I at first thought I’d get a yearling or adult snake but things worked out differently and I fell in love with the hatchie I’m getting. So I had a rough idea of what I needed for a yearling or adult snake but now I’m completely out of my depth and through my research I’ve been getting conflicting reports on what I’d need for the setup.

I was wondering if anyone could give me like a list or something of what I’d need for a diamond python hatchling set up, so that I have something to work off of.
I just want to do what’s best for the little guy and give him/her the best care that I can. Any help would be much appreciated.
 
This is an idea setup, maybe a slightly taller tub

Thanks for the visual! Would it need a uv light or anything?

No, but it can’t hurt, doesn’t do anything either, natural room light would be enough (don’t have it in direct sunlight or next to a window)

It will need a heat mat of 3-5w and a thermostat
