new to ball pythons........

Hello:banana:! I am new to this forum, and I will be getting a baby ball python this Christmas:snake:. I was wondering if someone here could answer these questions?
1. what heating sources and temperatures will my python need?
2. what substrate will he/she need?
3. what size tank will it need?
4. what kind of essentials will I need?
If I have left anything out, please feel free to put it in. So, basically, just tell me everything I must know to keep a baby ball python happy!:carrot::snake2:

:welcome: to the land of herps. And :rockon::fest: for looking into everything, as Dr. Del stated. The best way to have a happy healthy snake is to be in the know and have your setup ready before the snake comes home. :)
