    Alright, this is about how you should set it up:

    1. Hot side- 90- 94 degrees and cool side- 80- 85 degrees
    2. Humidity- 50- 60% regularly and 60- 70% when in shed
    3. Two tight fitting hide, with only a small opening to get in and out. Put one on the cool side and one on the hot, this is so they can regulate their body temperature.
    4. Being so small, a tub is probably best for now or a ten gallon tank. Then you can use your tank once he/ she has become an established eater and is comfortable.
    5. Heat lamps and UV lighting are not needed unless your ambient air temperature falls below 75 degrees.
    6. Put the tank in a very low traffic area, vibrations could cause the snake to become scared and once again not eat.
    7. Last but not least, you should not handle your snake until you can get it to eat on its own. Doing so could possibly stress the snake out and make it continue not to eat.

    Good luck, and if you have any more questions just ask.

    The key is a tight enclosure, being warm and secure :gj:
