Corns or Kings are more forgiving on temps and humidity BUT balls are more forgiving on handling.

you can get just about any snake in albino too

The tank has a white type laminate wood on the inside..... back and bottom floor. The sides are wood... not sure the type.

Maybe post a photo! :) That could help. As long as you seal the inside of the wood (and it isn't toxic) there shouldn't be too much of a problem, a lot of people have all wood enclosures!

Probably melamine back and bottom?? That should be fine but the sides might need sealer then. Try to post up some good pics so we can get a better idea

What is awesome about this is that this enclsure was given to me this week for FREE!:taz:

As far as a "basking spot" goes you really do want belly heat. You could use a uth underneath a piece of slate under the substrate. (of course have this on a good thermostat and keep an eye on it.

I think it will be fine JUST loose the sticky guages

I just got that lol... it doesnt work? I cant afford anything expensive to test the humidity.
