What type of enclosure and heating source are you going to use? Use either unprinted newspaper or regular newspaper as bedding. It's easy and quick to clean out. Provide a hide box if youre getting a juvenile. Get something to accurately measure heat and make sure you have a back-up source in case you lose power. Im not sure how much it snows at once, but if you have blackouts from snow, you need to ensure you have something that can provide a heating source for him/her during those times.
