Re: new member looking for advice
You should be able to find a plastic tub at any store like a walmart.
Reptile basics is a good online option for hides, heat tape and thermostats:
REPTILEBASICS.COM
Pet stores will have any fake greenery you may want and aspen bedding.
Also Walmart for accurite thermometer gauges.
You will need to melt holes into the tub for air/ventilation. I use a soldiering iron found at Lowes or Home Depot.

My favourite place to buy snake stuff is SwellReptiles: https://www.reptiles.swelluk.com/ . They offer pretty much everything you could need for a tub set up, heat mats, thermostats, fake plants, etc. at VERY affordable prices, they stock the big brands, AND you get free next-day delivery if you order over £49 worth of stuff. I was very pleased with their service when I bought my boy Cinnamon's viv and decorations.

Best of luck to you with your new snake. Buying all the supplies and getting things set up is half the fun in my opinion. Don't forget to check into getting an infared temp gun too. Those are so important to make sure the temps are where they need to be.
