If you're talking about the snake kit, I would say not to get it. I got one for my corn snake at Petco, and it was a waste of money. The stick on thermometers are junk (get a digital) and the log hide (you only get one) isn't a good hide for a BP plus, he'll need two identical hides. I would tell him to purchase everything seperately, it'll save him a few bucks. Maybe, have him check out the forum and some care sheets too.
