Make sure you are monitoring your cage's temps and humidity before bringing the snake home. Humidity isn't a huge concern but you don't want the conditions desert like either. They are from Florida so the occasional misting, especially while shedding is particularly well received. It's a colubrid so they are a bit more active than a ball python so I like to put in a branch or plastic plant in the tank so they have more to move around on. Its not necessary however. I provide light for my snakes although they aren't basking lamps and also isn't necessary.
Get a heat pad and put it on a thermostat, even if it never gets turned on because conditions remain perfect its still not a bad idea to have it in case something dumb happens (IE you leave the window open in late fall and then it drops your room temp below 45 or so)
