Whatever you decide for housing your snake, just set it up & run it for at least a week BEFORE you get a snake to put inside...you many find that you need to tweak
things, & if you need to order or shop for something you don't have to make needed modifications, you don't want to stress your new snake by allowing improper
temps./conditions, or by having to remove the snake (or work around it) while you make changes. New snakes need to settle in stress-free in order to do their best-
no handling until they eat at least 3 times at regular intervals for you is the best practice. (having a snake refuse food is NOT fun, & can impact their health)
