Cant set up cage until the day I get the snake....
So Im getting my first BP this weekend, from a local (family owned, and they breed their own) Petstore that has a very good rep in this area.
But the problem is I wont be able to set up the cage for it until the day I get the snake.
I have a 10gallon tank I can use for a while, until I get the newer and larger tank for it.
Is this a good idea? or will it cause to much stress on the snake having to move it so many times?

Maybe you can put off getting the snake until you get its enclosure properly set up and running for 48 hours, rather than making the baby have to stress through tweaks you may have to make.
If it's a baby - 10 gallons is perfect.

I have other heat sources I can use while the UTH heats up.
also do I need the UTH and a heat lamp? or is just the UTH fine?

I use both UTH & a (red) heat lamp. I had to mess with it for almost 2 weeks until I got the temps just right. I can't see how u could achieve the temp gradient without both. There's that OCD kicking in again.
