    15qt tubs(or equivalent) work well for hatchling to 300 to 400 grams or so.

    Otherwise your list looks fairly complete

    I use the 15qt tub til they are about 700g, then they go into a 28qt tub, forget the analogue hygrometer, go to your local home & garden store, they should have indoor/outdoor thermometer/hygrometers

    your hides may be a bit small, and your snake will out grow it in no time, just use cheap plastic bowls with an opening cut out for now.

    They grow so fast, so all my hatchlings use plastic round storage containers.

    Try the containerstore.com, not sure if they ship to UK, but worth a look
