Also when I leave for work or something is it safe to leave the basking lamp on? It gets pretty hot
Please don't get the snake! Thats the best suggestion anyone can give you. You don't sound ready for one. Do you have money for a vet? Your going to need one.

Do a search on plastic tubs their better than tanks.
