Thanks, everyone, for the replies. Since I'll be keeping my snake in the living room I'm wanting some aesthetic appeal with its enclosure so I'll be going the glass tank route and if that proves to be too difficult to keep proper conditions I'll switch to a tub. I guess I'll start with my 10 gallon to keep upfront cost down a bit and upgrade size when needed. As for uth size it seems like the consensus is about 1/3 the size of the tank. Does that sound about right? I'll definitely be getting a thermostat. I've read too many horror stories and seen some pictures of poor little snakes getting burned.
