Nice job!! We were all new once, and unfortunately there's no "one size fits all" answer to certain aspects of husbandry. Since we all live in different parts of the world our climates are different. Some people heat their homes differently than others, some like their houses warmer than others, we use different enclosures, etc...all variables that make setting up our enclosures a bit different.
All you can do is learn. Trial and error will go a long way with dialing things in.
Follow the advice of experienced keepers and learn all you can. There are definitely "tricks of the trade", but what works for person A could be drastically different from what works for person B due to any of the variables I mentioned and more.
Good luck, keep up the good work!
Ask all the questions you may have. We're happy to help.
....oh, and the advice Ricky gave is great advice for your NEXT snake
