Just make sure it has good ventilation so your baby can breathe ;) and lock that thing tight. First thing mine did was try to escape

Yeah, I was planning on taking one side out and putting a screen over that with a few screen locks. I'm the only one in the house who actually likes snakes so I gotta make sure he can't get out!

May I ask how you kept the humidity up? I'm having such problems with mine at the moment, during the day it's at 30% and at night its' at 40%. It's starting to irritate me because I can't sit there misting the tank the whole day I have to go to work.

Re: Finally did it!
I bought a repti fogger and I taped it to the tip of my 36x18x18 and put it on a timer with two CHE's on the top (100&60W) I also used foil (shiny side down) to cover an appropriate portion that keeps the right heat and humidity and duct tape that down to the lid.
Congrats, i too had the same problem when i first got my bp. I did the foil method on top and then got a bigger water bowl to have a larger surface area of water to create more evaporation. My heat lamp was on the side of the tank with the water bowl in the middle. I would adjust the water bowl towards or away from the heat lamp to adjust the humidity.

Looks good! Congrats.
If later on you're looking for a bigger enclosure, definitely check out PVC terrariums. Keeping humidity and heat in them is cake. Makes keeping a snake a lot easier. All you need is a RHP (radient heat panel), for ambient heat, heat tape for a hot spot and a thermostat to control both items.

Could you send me a link to a few good PVC terrariums? Idk that I would need a bigger one ever really as this one is 36x18x18 (which supposedly would hold a 54" snake right?), but I'd definitely look into one for when I get another snake haha
