Nice looking snake.
I'd personally go with a tub, as it is cheaper, easier to maintain humidity, and you could always upgrade to a tank, tub ,etc. when it gets larger.
There should be a tub setup guide here on the forum somewhere (I think it is either a sticky under general BP or BP Husbandry forums). It is very good and has pics to go by.
I use stand alone tubs for my quarantine setups (which, BTW, you'll want to keep the new noodle away from your current one for a couple months to prevent disease transfer just in case).
You will need a tub... get one that has as flat of a bottom as possible and is large enough for 2 hides, the water bowl, and some extra room for crawling.
You will need a thermometer. I like the Accurite ones that are indoor / outdoor and have a probe and humidity gauge. You can monitor hot spot temp, cool ambient temp, and humidity in one unit with those.
A heat pad that is large enough to cover 1/4 - 1/3 of the tub bottom...I like to use Ultratherms from reptile basics for mine.
A thermostat- For quarantine / temporary setups, I use a hydrofarm / jumpstart one that I get off amazon.
Some security measures for the tub top: I like to use either binder / bulldog clips or luggage straps to prevent them from pushing out of the top.
The sticky about tub setup should help you figure out where to place everything... I will note that you may need to purchase a drill or soldering iron to poke some holes for ventilation in the tub. I use a soldering iron I got off amazon for ~$9.
Good luck!
