Hunter I think you ought to get some reedumacation on setup. Do you realize you recommended FOUR thermometers and putting tape in the enclosure, along with a plethora of unnecessary stuff, assumedly based on misinformation?

To keep it simple, cheap, and easy to take care of, I'd just use (for a hatchling) a shoebox sized tub, a used buttercup with an entrance cut as a hide, and paper or paper towels for substrate. Then a little Flexwatt for heating because it's SO much cheaper than a UTH. This inexpensive digital thermostat. And the Accurite unit w/probe. Also some small water bowl that is hopefully difficult to tip. I'm using an ashtray right now.

I didn't really recommend 4 thermometers and I like to be safer then being sorry. 3 Thermometers is better then 1 and if its done correctly it wont bother the snake. A matter of fact my snake likes the mounted Acurite Thermometer/Hygrometer I have he likes to climb it sometimes. Yes, their are ways to keep it simple and cost effective but I would rather have a nice looking cage that my snake likes other then a bin with a water dish and a hide. I would only do that if I had over 3 snakes and only because the amount of space it would take up. Also flexwatt is really only good for bins because glass tanks have gaps so you can't stick it to the glass with out aluminum tape which can be pretty pricey. But flexwatt is perfect for racks,bins or rack like systems. Not trying to bash you or the items you recommend. But there wasn't any necessary reason for you to get "snotty" with me.
