New guy in the snake world

Sorry about not saying the specific snake, but yes I'm going to get a baby corn snake from a breeder since the ones at petco dont seem healthy.and i decided that i will have him in a tank since i have a 10 gallon at home. And just so i make sure i have things clear i am going to give you my set up off of your information. For my substrate i will use paper towels, have to hides one on the cool and hot side. Keep the water bowl on the cool side.Also im going to get a basking light and the UTH and connect it to a thermostat keeping it around 85-90 degrees on the warm side. Does this seem right and sorry for all the questions i just want to do it all right and minimize the mistakes.

Yep sounds pretty right to me, good luck with your Corn snake! I would love to see pictures once you get him/her xD

Also, you can just use either the UTH or the heat lamp since you'll be using paper towels. I would recommend paper towels for a plastic tub because it's easier for the heat from the UTH to get to the top of the substrate. So, if you can get the temps at the correct level with a heat lamp then that is all you will pretty much need.
