For bedding- In my opinion, i'd mix it with a bit of eco earth dirt, but to each his own- Since I have paper towels right now but been thinking of switching to different type(s) of bedding(I may do different beddings in the terrarium to try em out). I also have a humidity box with eco earth and some moss, which you may want to do(you can easily make a box from a container from your kitchen or a shoe box container).

For Lights- I like to use the blue uva lights for daytime, sometimes the red ones, you'll just have to try them out, since every snake is different.

For UTH- I've been trying this heat pad that doesn't get very hot(it's for putting in dogs beds) that I got at petco clearance section. So far I like it. My mother also made a comment that I could try the heat pads for humans(with temperature control on it).

Hope this helps!
