It's wonderful you are considering a snake rather than vegging in front of the TV (can you talk to my teenage son LOL).

You might also consider using an appropriate sized Sterlite or Rubbermaid sweater bin for a young snake and then move it up to something bigger later on. Your local Wal-Mart type store has a big selection of these and they are very reasonably priced (usually under $10.00). There's tons of threads on here on how to set up a bin like that as well as how to make hides cheaply (pet store hides are way over priced!) and where to buy equipment so you don't get taken to the cleaners by your local pet store.
