I am getting my first ball python in a couple of days, so I just have a couple questions about my set up.

I am getting an '09 Mojave male, it is 244 grams. I will be housing it in a 14 quart bin on paper towel. (It's a bit larger than a shoebox size) What is the best hot temp? Is 92 a good temp? Or does it need to be higher?
Also, do they need a water dish large enough to soak in? Or should I just mist it periodically to keep humidity up? My other snake is an arid species so I haven't dealt with humidity issues yet. If I mist the paper towel, should I just let it dry on its own? Or is it bad to have the snake sitting on wet paper towel?

I know balls are higher stress than some other snakes, is one week enough time to let it settle before I handle or offer food? Or do ball pythons need longer?
