First-Time Snake Owner, Considering A Ball Python

[Dagger311]

I decided on a kingsnake. I went back to where I bought the stuff, got store credit for the light fixture and bulb, got two cave hides, and a smaller water bowl.

My new question is: will a 6"x11" UTH alone be enough to keep a king snake in a 20 gallon?

The UTH is strictly for creating a hot spot. It will depend on the ambient temps where the snake will be kept.
