I’d really like to recommend you get your setup running BEFORE you purchase the actual snake. It can take quite a while to get temperatures and humidity in the right range and stable. Here’s a basic checklist…

-Two small identical hides (not a half log, but something dark and cave like)
-Water dish
-Bedding (options vary here from newspaper to aspen – I have never used the reptibark)
-Under tank heater
-Thermostat (to control temps)
-Digital thermometer (to measure them) and please do not buy those dials or strips. You can go Walmart/Target/Lowes etc. and get a indoor/outdoor thermometer that will work great.
-Tub or Tank. The smaller the better for babies, and upgrade the caging as the snake grows.
