Um...
* 52 litre tub - $12
* paper rolls - free
* heat cord - $25 ( i think)
* bowl - $8
* thermometer - $23 (reads and stores highest and lowest temps)
* hides - I think were expensive, but look good. Can use cereal boxes etc that are free
* branches - free (just make sure they're cleaned properly before putting in box)
* plastic plant - $15 (i think)
The heat cord was the most expensice thing, and that's probably the cheapest you can go. Heat mats with thermostats etc will only be more expensive. Everything else you can find alternative items that are cheap or expensive.
As long as they have somewhere to hide on the cool and the warm side. The smaller the snake the more places to hide the better. As they grow and become more confident you can slowly remove some of the excess hides so you see them more often.
But the click clack boxes, you want one that the lid locks into place. Heard lots of stories of escaping snakes, usually are hatchies or younger snakes. Most important thing I think.
If you want to know anything else I'm more than willing to help.
